1.Buying a weak stock is like betting on a slow horse. It is retarded. 2.Stocks are only cheap if they are going higher after you buy them. 3.Never trust a person more than the market. People lie, the market does not. 4.Controlling losers is a must; let your winners run out of control. 5.Simplicity in trading demonstrates wisdom. Complexity is the sign of inexperience. 6.Have loyalty to your family, your dog, your team. Have no loyalty to your stocks. 7.Emotional traders want to give the disciplined their money. 8.Trends have counter trends to shake the weak hands out of the market. 9.The market is usually efficient and can not be beat. Exploit inefficiencies. 10.To beat the market, you must have an edge. 11.Being wrong is a necessary part of trading profitably. Admit when you are wrong. 12.If you do what everyone is doing you will be average, so goes the definition. 13.Information is only valuable if no one knows about it. 14.Lower your risk till you sleep like a baby. 15.There is always a reason why stocks go up or down, we usually only learn the reason when it is too late. 16.Trades that make a lot of intellectual sense are likely to be losers. 17.You do not have to be right more than you are wrong to make money in the market. 18.Don’t worry about the trades that you miss, there will always be another. 19.Fear is more powerful than greed and so down trends are sharper than up trends. 20.Analyze the people, not the stock. 21.Trading is a dictators game; you can not trade by committee. 22.The best traders are the ones who do not care about the money. 23.Do not think you are smarter than the market, you are not. 24.For most traders, profits are short term loans from the market. 25.The stock market can not be predicted, we can only play the probabilities. 26.The farther price is from a linear trend, the more likely it is to correct. 27.Learn from your losses, you paid for them. 28.The market is cruel, it gives the test first and the lesson afterward. 29.Trading is simple but it is not easy. 30.The easiest time to make money is when there is a trend. For total novice traders, who want and need to learn the art of profitable trading, the first decision is timeframes. Initially I was looking at daytrading, however numerous comments have forced a rethink. Daytrading is without a doubt the hardest timeframe to trade. The decision process has to be fast. Speed in the decision process comes with experience. Pattern recognition is fractal, thus, timeframe is totally unimportant from this starting point. It is all about decision speed and recognition speed, that are put together in a rational framework to manage risk. I have noticed through a few of the blogs that I follow that this concept is actually not accepted at all. The reverse seems to be argued: that risk and decision speed are best managed in the shortest timeframe available, viz. daytrading. A couple of follow-up points. First, who’s doing the actual trade execution? For that matter, who’s deciding what trades to do? If the answer to either is the coach, then the coachee isn’t getting anything out of it. If the answer to both is the coachee, then what protection does the coach have that the coachee doesn’t just botch the whole thing up? The coachee is executing the trades from his direct access platform. The protection is dependent upon securites being traded. If Options, there is an inherent safety mechanism, viz. loss cannot exceed 100% of contract purchased. Second, while there may be a few fundamental building blocks upon which trading strategies are built, that’s only part of the trading equation. What about position sizing, for example? And how about all that between the ears stuff – like dealing with a drawdown period, or a great string of winners for that matter? I think I’ve covered [briefly] position sizing. Drawdowns etc are a fact of trading reality. A good coach, one who actually trades, and is in the market with you, can differentiate twixt a trading drawdown that is normal and one that is not. Third, who foots the bill for losses should they be the result of the coaching period – as could certainly happen just from bad luck, if nothing else? They are shared, somewhat disproportionately I concede: the coachee loses capital, the coach doesn’t get paid. Under the traditional system the coachee pays for tuition, say $4000.00 over the weekend, compounds his losses in the market and is pretty despondent. My way is I feel far fairer in this aspect. Having read and responded to a few comments, there is one point that I wish to expand upon. The point that John Forman raised, viz. the teaching of a system, that without the coach, the coachee cannot continue. This is the last post in our series analyzing the DVI (read part one, two and three), a contrarian intermediate-term (IT) indicator from CSS Analytics (click to calculate). In this post I’ll compare the DVI to an IT indicator I use a lot in my own trading. I want to drive home the point that all of these price-based IT indicators, despite being very different in their calculations, tend to pick similar entries/exits, so we should be looking at them as “concepts” and not marrying any one in particular. In the graph above I’ve shown the results of trading the S&P 500 index using the DVI strategy described in my first post (red), versus trading my own IT indicator (grey) in a similar fashion (above/below the midpoint), from 1970 to the present. See end of post for assumptions about dividends, return on cash, and trade frictions. This is a rare post where I’m not going to disclose everything going on under the hood. I’m going to keep my IT indicator a black box, but know that it’s a component in ALL of our proprietary strategies, I’ve been trading with it for almost a decade, and I even include it on the free State of the Market report (yes, I love this concept). It’s radically different than DVI in how it’s calculated, but it shares the fact that it’s only considering price (and not other data like volume or the price of tea in China). Just by visual inspection, it’s pretty clear these two strategies are close cousins. Any difference in performance between the two is most likely random chance. The point of showing the data above is to say that, despite our best efforts to make one indicator better than another, indicators that are timing the market in similar timeframes (in this case, the intermediate-term) using similar data (in this case, price) are going to come to similar conclusions about the market. That’s why RSI(2), DV(2), etc. generally say the same thing about the short-term state of the market (read more), or different variations of long-term moving averages say the same thing about the trend. Unless we’re changing something much more fundamental, indicators tend to just be regurgitations of each other. There are things that might make this indicator preferable to that one for you (ex. I like that DVI is both “bounded” from 0 – 100% and “normalized” to recent market data, and that my own indicator is more-KISS and a “dimmer” not a “light-switch”), but none of those preferences justify marrying any of them. We should choose one (or two), add that “concept” to our trading, and move on to find other concepts, and not other redundant indicators. And I think the DVI is a perfectly reasonable choice to fill traders’ need for a price-based, intermediate-term indicator. This dovetails nicely with my reply to John: essentially, trading, whatever system that you employ, has basic fundamentals underlying, and they are consistent across all strategies, systems etc. The only variations to this are Option based strategies that look at volatility or time rather than direction. These however, if desired, can be coached on the same basis. Thus our coach, to get paid and deliver value, must be able to teach the fundamentals and implement the correct strategy for market conditions. This is important, and there has been much discussion around blogoland with regard to trend continuation, counter-trend trading, that the correct strategy is employed for current market conditions. Of course, the wrong strategy for market conditions will see losses to a valid strategy, in the wrong conditions. I’ve had various discussions with John Forman in the past with regards to this topic. I’ve also poured ridicule upon the ChartAddict for advertising a $4000.oo per weekend [market closed] stockmarket coaching business. So what do I think is a fair way to proceed? How about the coach, coaches the coachee during market hours, and takes his fee from the profits generated via executed trades? Using MSN messenger or somesuch, trades, analysis, etc are undertaken in real time with real money for real results. How does that grab any newbies thinking about daytrading or even swing trading for that matter? Of course all the basics, risk management etc must, as this is live, be adhered to and taught.

Q. After the holidays, my dinner foot traffic seems to dwindle, and I think it’s because it’s so cold out that no wants to come out to eat. How can I gain some revenue back? A. Consider implementing a curbside “packaged dinner” program that changes weekly or daily. This would entail a full family-style meal for two to four or six to eight people that would include a starter, entree, sides and dessert. Think: Fried Chicken Sundays, Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday or Jump-start the Weekend (with signature favorites) on Wednesday or Thursdays. These are just examples—you should play off your current menu. Be sure to make the pricing attractive as well. Q. My menu is set, but my cooks all want to make something “new and different.” They are driving me crazy and need to stop. A. Set up guidelines so they can help create specials and possibly new menu items. Alternate days that they each can do some testing, and use this as a platform to teach them about costs, portions and profits. You can’t hire a talented painter and expect them to be fully satisfied painting houses or fences every day. Help them grow and get the rest of the team engaged. As a training tool, let them take turns teaching each other about the special they create and serve it as a staff meal. Q. Where can I turn for innovative salad dressings? A. Create your own, which can also stand in as sauces, glazes and marinades. Experiment with different acids or vinegars (fig, Champagne, yuzu), sweeteners (maple, honey, caramel), herbs and heat (chilies, spices). Remember that balance and contrast are important, and have a good time. Q. I keep trying to make changes in my restaurant, but my servers and kitchen crew find reasons the change won’t work and everything stays the same. Is this just my problem? A. Are you making changes or are you making improvements? Changes bring on uncertainty, extra work and most likely customer complaints. Improvements have positive attributes. You must clearly define how the improvement will benefit the restaurant, your staff and most importantly your customers. Collaborate with your staff so everyone can make sure the improvements stick around. Q. I get customers asking for healthy, good-for-you items but when I run them as a special, no one orders them. What’s up with that? A. We may want healthy, but we’re always tempted by what’s more of a guilty pleasure. That means your good-for-you specials must stand alone as a delicious choice no matter who you are appealing to. For center of the plate, think of leaner proteins and preparations like grilled instead of fried. Make seasonal vegetables the star by roasting, tossing with herbs and using bright vinaigrettes. Then remember to use descriptions that resonate with everyone and not just the healthy diner. Q. No matter how hard my sales reps and I work at buying better to save money, food cost keeps climbing. What gives? A. Ask each rep what they and their company can do to make your operation more successful. Prices of groceries are pretty equal from place to place, but there might be incentives or creative ways to make the numbers work better for you. Let them come back to you with a 30-, 60- or 90-day plan that will benefit your business. Mike Miello is a Food Fanatics chef for US Foods from New York who wears his passion for all things food.

As a writer its really exciting to get the opportunity to express your own opinions and ideas without being limited, or having to stay conformed to a certain mold. So when I recently got asked to create a personal piece for a start up magazine you can imagine how liberating this concept was. It was even better when I learned more about this publication and their message of self love and empowerment. Considering how refreshing this thoughtfulness is in a world full of plastic and photoshop, I dug deeper into how Flaws got its start by asking Editor in Chief Kyla Spencer a few questions. Read below and check out my features tab for a link to my article! What inspired you to start this magazine? Just generally the lack of realism in magazines and media or a specific event? For me growing up I never felt a desire to look like girls in magazines because I knew my beauty was completely different from theirs. I also think that my friends in high school were a huge key factor in the way I looked at beauty. Many of my friends never cared about makeup- damn they didn't care about what they wore, they cared about their sports and friends. It truly gave me a different outlook on female beauty and empowerment. Beauty shouldn't be defined by this ideal shown in advertising, but rather the beauty of how we are as people and our actions. It sounds cliche but their isn't anything more beautiful in this world then not defining yourself by your flaws but rather embracing them. So I came up with Flaws with every intention to help shape the future of publications- I don't want to be a stepping stone in change, I want to start the revolution. Flaw’s motto is “Changing the perception of perfection,” is perfection a real thing? We find perfection to be interesting because each person will have their own idea of what "perfect" is. Perfection is this ever evolving idea, evidence has shown that what the times show as beauty changes not just decade to decade, but also country to country. I always found that interesting because how can a single publication tell me that my hair will look flawless if I do those 10 steps? It sets my expectations high, and when my hair doesn't turn out how they tell me it will I am irritated how we can throw words like flawless around like it is nothing. Don't get my wrong, I will still song Beyonce's flawless song, but Flaws wants to change what perfection means. Who knows, maybe the dictionary will change it in the future? With today’s society being deeply routed in appearance, with everything from the selfie stick to the obsession with Kylie Jenner, how do you think girls can avoid the trap of self-scrutiny? Even though I see Flaws as being the change in the fashion industry for self acceptance and peer acceptance, we as humans will always naturally be creatures of habit. We will always have a hard time with dealing with the way we look, hell even the way we act. That it can often seem near impossible to block out the words of others- especially when those words at the moment seem like the most important thing in the world. I think this "trap" isn't just about yourself but also the way in which we treat others. If we can find it easier to accept people for their Flaws, then we can only hope others will do the same. It is like cause and effect- so I guess my point is is to realize that if we can look at ourselves and be able to understand our Flaws our apart of our character and that our character is special, others will notice and get trapped in our self-love. Who are some millenials who you personally appreciate for their genuine character (be that in fashion, music, or art)? Amandla Stenberg, while I may not fully agree with her position on things, she isn't afraid to speak out. I find it fascinating that even though she is a teenager she isn't afraid to speak out against the pack. That to me is a good leader for the millennials- because she can show that opinions are valid if you are just brave enough to speak out against it. If you could pick anyone to be on the cover of your magazine right now, who would it be and why? I honestly don't think I can answer that question because who I would choose to be on the cover has to not only be right for our vision, but also for the concept of that current issue. And Khalifa (Creative Director Khalifa Flowers) and I haven't figured out what the next issues "theme" if you will will be. I hate when a publication just throws someone on the cover because they have a movie coming out that month but then you will hear nothing about that person because they were just in the moment. I want people on the Flaws cover eventually that have a strong message to share with the world, they can't just be the face, because at the end of the day we should remember them by their impact on the world. What do you think about the phenomenon of social media as a millennial (just right or over load)? Regardless if people want to admit it or not, social media is able to accomplish many issues on things on such a grander scale. Companies are able to essentially have "free advertisement" to get their products out there, and their name more known to a younger audience. A younger audience who has great buying power. I am nineteen years old and when I see on my Instagram a celebrity that I follow post about a product and tag them- I click on the company. I do it because I am curious with what product they are selling and the fact that I go to their Instagram says a lot for what the future already has in store for consumers. Well my version of a perfect day (since every single one of us will have a different answer) is to sleep in and begin watching a TV show to get my morning off to a good start. More then likely I will probably have something funny like Dance Moms to make me realize how blessed I am to not have Abbi Miller yelling at me haha. Oddly enough shows like that inspire me to do more. Then hunger begins to take over me and when this happens, everything else in the world is at a stand still. So I go on Yelp and literally will find a random place once in a while, or grab Jack-in-the-box. Yes, that is quite unhealthy of me, but I love that place. Then I just work on the magazine and do research and hang out with my friends. I am young and I still want to be young and have fun experiences. What can we expect in the future from Flaws? My only wish I have for Flaws is for it to reach an entirely new audience of people that would've never imagined a magazine like it. I find it essential to in the success of Flaws for it to not only look visually appealing, but for it to have a strong voice. Like I said in my first Editor's letter, "I can't promise that we will get it right right away, but we will try our very best."

YAIE (Yet Another IMG Editor) is a program for opening and editing * .img archives of GTA 3, GTA VC, GTA SA. Its main advantage in comparison with analogues is the possibility of partial work with PSP / PS2 versions of GTA LCS and GTA VCS (opens and changes GTA3PS2.IMG and GTA3PSP.IMG). When you open the archive version of the console version, a * .dir file will be created (generated through the search for the format headers in the archive), which will make it possible to work with this archive in other * .img editors. Ребят это значит что моды на PSP СТАВИТЬ МОЖНО!

Most people cook kohlrabi, but I slice it thin on a mandolin, and use it as a wrapper for raw vegan ravioli. Some folks slice it thin, salt it, and then eat it like that. You can also slice it thin and make matchsticks of it, and throw it in salads. I chop up fennel and put it in whatever I am making. It gives a kind of licorice flavor to a salad. If you are like me, do not try to put arugula in your smoothie (it tastes like dirty feet — okay, like dirty feet smell — I’ve never actually tasted it because the smell was so off-putting) Arugula does tastes nice in salads, and it is also tasty mixed into sprouted quinoa, with other vegetables. I have forgotten what green leaf Raw Chef Dan used in his wraps, but I have used his technique successfully with romaine lettuce, to make wraps I can deal with. What did Dan show us? He took a coffee mug and rolled it on the leaf to crush it. Then he peeled the leaf sides from the tough central stem. I used this technique to make some delicious wraps with a nut/seed pate and a smidgen of sauerkraut for a party I went to last week. I am happy to say that there were no leftovers (although I could have used some for the next day’s lunch!) The good thing here, for me, is that I am now more romaine-friendly. Baby Arugula I traded for more kale – yumm! I made some marinated greens with 1 bunch of the kale. Yesterday I made a green drink with 1/2 of the lettuce, 1 small beet, an apple, and 2 tomatoes. It wasn’t so bad, but I wouldn’t use the apple again in that mix– maybe another tomato would work. I plan to make a cheeze with the garlic scapes, some cashews, and some jalapeno, so I can make raviolis with the kohlrabi. I’ll figure out what to do with the rest shortly — I need food to carry to work next week. I would like to make some kale chips at some point.

Know anyone at Times Books, Henry Holt, and/or Macmillan? OK, so I deleted the original post that used to reside here. It was a desperate attempt on my part to crowdsource contacting a publisher about a permissions request. For those of you who have never attempted to contact a large publisher about using a brief excerpt of their work, it can be harrowing. Usually they have webforms asking for a ton of information, or an email address for you to submit your request to, but with no other way of contacting them in person (e.g., a phone number).

Mrs. Abernathy's chocolate cake is my all-time favorite cake ever. I connect it to birthdays and family and happiness and licking batter off of beaters. But more than the nostalgia, it's just a damn good chocolate cake. It's very moist and soft, and possibly even better after being refrigerated overnight. It's also not too sweet, so you can pile on icing without going into a sugar coma. This is a very good thing. The name comes, as best as I can recall, from a neighbor of my mom's when her family lived in Kansas during the 1960s. Mrs. Abernathy gave the recipe to my Nana, who passed it down to my mom and then to me. I've often wondered who this fabled woman really was, and if her descendants are also making this cake as a treasured recipe inherited from their grandmother. I'd like to think that they are. The ingredients aren't particularly complicated; they're mostly just stuff you'd already have around. Somewhat amusingly, the thing I'm least likely to have at any given time is coffee. (My caffeine-addicted mother and sister will either laugh or cry at that statement. Possibly both.) Luckily, I have coffee-drinking housemates who are happy to share. I'll walk you through the process step by step in pictures, but I've printed the recipe in full at the end of this post in case you want it all in one place. Much easier that way. Begin by creaming together 2 cups white sugar and 1 C (2 sticks) softened butter. The butter should be soft but not melted--a few seconds in the microwave should do the trick. Cut it up into pieces to make it easier on your beater. I prefer to use a stand mixer, but a big bowl and a hand electric mixer would work fine. When I was a freshman in college, I'd take my big bowl and whisk down the hall to the ginormous baseball guys and ask them if they'd pretty please whip it for me in exchange for some of the finished baked goods. That actually worked surprisingly well. Once everything is whipped together nicely, add two eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat to combine. Meanwhile, prepare your dry ingredients in another big bowl. Start with 3 cups sifted flour. Or if you're too lazy to accurately sift and scoop your flour, just measure 3 scant cups straight out of the bin. I probably use a total of 2 2/3 to 2 3/4 cups when I do it that way. Definitely not the most scientific or accurate; someday I'll get a kitchen scale and weigh my ingredients instead. Carefully measure and add 1/2 tsp. salt and 2 tsp. baking soda--these are not ingredients you can treat lightly. Too much, and your cake will taste awful. Give it all a good stir until the dry ingredients are uniformly tan in color. Now you have three separate bowls: butter/sugar/eggs in the mixer, dry ingredients in a big bowl, and wet ingredients in a measuring cup. Alternately add your wet and dry ingredients to the butter/sugar/eggs mixture a bit at a time, and mix well between each addition. KitchenAid makes a great bowl shield that keeps your flour from exploding back up in your face. Very handy. Somehow, even though there's only a small amount of cocoa powder as a fraction of the total volume, the resultant mixture will be a beautiful chocolate brown. It's always a little magical when that happens. Pour the batter into a greased 9" x 13" pan, three greased 9" rounds, or 18 paper-lined cupcakes. (Optional step: lick the bowl and beater and make happy contented sounds.) Bake at 350 degrees 30-35 minutes for a big rectangular cake, 20-25 minutes for the rounds, or 15-20 minutes for cupcakes. Test near the end of the baking time by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the cake; it is done when the toothpick comes out clean. Meanwhile, prepare the icing! This is a really simple buttercream that I threw together without much of a recipe. Feel free to use your favorite. Whip 1 cup softened butter at high speed until it's light and fluffy. Slowly add powdered sugar, a bit at a time. Let it totally incorporate before adding more. I probably used a total of 3-4 cups sugar. Add your favorite flavoring: a teaspoon of vanilla extract is classic, but you could also use almond or maple or even mint. One of my favorites is a splash of Baileys Irish Cream. Also add any food coloring you'd like to use. Whip it up really well until the frosting is thick and spreadable. When you're cake is done, let it cool completely before icing it. If you try to put the frosting on when the cake is still warm, it will melt the butter and become a terrible mess. Frost your cake however you'd like! I often use a pastry bag, but this time I just spread the icing on with a knife and rolled my cupcake tops in a plate of sprinkles. Couldn't be easier or cuter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 13" pan or three 9" rounds or add paper liners to 18 cupcakes. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla, mix thoroughly. In a second bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients alternately to batter with wet, stirring well to incorporate. Pour into prepared pans or cupcake papers. Bake 30-35 minutes for 9" x 13" pan, 20-25 minutes for 9" rounds, or 15-20 minutes for cupcakes. Cake is done withen toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Store covered in the refrigerator up to three days. The recipe is even older! Mrs. A was my family's neighbor when I was a baby/toddler. So we're talking Arlington, Virginia, in the mid-1950s. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I cannot wait to try it out! It sounds alot like the family recipe that we call Mrs. Blues Chocolate Cake!

As we celebrate LGBT History Month throughout the month of February, let’s take a look at the life and legacy of the Greek poet who has helped define much of what it means to be a queer woman. Most of the precise facts regarding Sappho’s life have been lost to time, so what we do know of her has been gleaned from interpretations of the past and may not be that accurate. It is thought that she was from the village of Mytilene, on the Greek island of Lesbos. Her work indicates that she was born into an aristocratic family. Sappho and her family were exiled from Lesbos to Syracuse, Sicily around the year 600 BC. This may have been as a result of her family’s involvement with the conflicts between political elites on Lesbos in this period. Later the exiles were allowed to return. Sappho probably wrote around 10,000 lines of poetry. Today, only about 650 survive. She is best known for her lyric poetry, written to be accompanied by music. Ancient authors claim that Sappho primarily wrote love poetry, although subsequent research indicates that her scope was much broader than that. Today Sappho, for many, is a symbol of love between women. The term lesbian is an allusion to Sappho, derived from the island of Lesbos where she was born. While there was some conjecture at the time, and some academic debate since, it’s generally accepted that Sappho’s poems were about the love between women. During her lifetime, Sappho’s reputation as a poet of the highest standing was undisputed, and her influence has extended throughout the centuries. Her style and lyricism continue to influence poets today.

A report in Mint said that leaders of Communist Party of India (Marxist), Revolutionary Socialist Party, Communist Party of India and the Forward Bloc submitted a memorandum to the PM asking him to probe into Trinamool’s role in the Saradha chit fund scam. Two of TMC MPs — Kunal Ghosh and Srinjoy Bose — are embroiled in multi-crore scam. Earlier, West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra in a statement had alleged that members of CPI(M) are involved in the scam too. When asked about the allegations, CPI(M) leader Biman Bose said that statements of “thieves” cannot be taken seriously, another report in The Hindu said.

Drug overdoses killed a little over 52,000 people in the United States in 2015 and about 60,000 in 2016 – more than car accidents or gun violence. CPPP is joining the national Drug and Alcohol Addiction Week of Action in an effort to protect access to essential substance use disorder services. But Republicans in the U.S. Senate are trying to force through a disastrous health care bill that would roll back gains made in improving access to mental health and substance use disorder (MH/SUD) treatment over the past decade. The Senate health care repeal bill cuts MH/SUD services while the country is in the midst of a spiraling opioid epidemic. Not enough funding for SUD services: During the drafting of the Senate bill, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) requested $45 billion over ten years to address the opioid epidemic, and the latest word is that the Senate bill will include this funding. Dramatic cuts to Medicaid funding: Medicaid is the largest source of funding for addiction services across the country. In states hit hard by the opioid epidemic, like West Virginia and Ohio, Medicaid pays for 40 percent of buprenorphine, a lifesaving addiction medication. The Senate bill caps and dramatically cuts the amount of money the federal government gives states under Medicaid with a direct impact on funding for addiction treatment. Medicaid Expansion repeal by 2025: The ACA expanded Medicaid eligibility to cover 11 million more people in the 31 states that opted to expand the program. (Texas failed to take up this option.) Medicaid Expansion has been essential for SUD treatment in states that expanded. The proportion of hospitalizations of people with MH/SUD who were uninsured fell from 20 percent in 2013 to five percent in 2015 in these states. The proposed Senate bill phases out special ACA federal Medicaid Expansion funding, and imposes caps on federal Medicaid funds to the states for all Medicaid participants. The independent Congressional Budget Office estimates that these changes will reduce Medicaid enrollment by 15 million people in 2026. The Senate bill will cut Medicaid spending during a current surge in overdose deaths that has led to a public health crisis. A small amount of federal emergency opioid response funding is not the same as reliable access to needed health care. Tackling addiction requires reliable health care coverage and access to long-term treatment and recovery supports. Passage of this dangerous bill could mean a return to a time when state Medicaid programs and private insurers covered only short-term minimal treatment for SUD, if they covered it at all. Call your Senators today to remind them that the bill would harm people with substance use disorders and devastate any state effort to address addiction, more information here.

Throwback: Branch Takes Down Bullis on The Inside! There was certainly a lot of fireworks entering the VA Showcase last year. When it came to the 4x200m relay time the entire place erupted as the seeded race went off. This race featured four of the US top 10 teams and went on to see three teams under 1:30. Watch this throwback race above and see how loud the crowd got when Western Branch made the move of the century to take down US #1 Bullis on the inside! The VA Showcase is back this year and better than ever. It will feature condensed fields and somehow even better competition. Registration is still open and if you're ready to run with the big dogs you can sign up now.

Pere Francois d’Aix de la Chaise, Confessor of King Louis XIV, was born at the mansion of Aix, in Forez. He entered the Jesuit novitiate at Roanne in 1649 after teaching the humanities and philosophy. He became the confessor to Louis XIV in 1675, succeeding the deceased Father Ferrier, and filled this influential but extremely delicate position conscienciously for 34 years. I am trying to adhere to the spiritual aspects of the times as it appears to me that the good Lord wants the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be honored equally at the end of the times of sorrows we now encounter. Father La Chaise used all his influence to put an end to the king’s illicit relations with a Madam Montespan, a mistress, and finally succeeded, with the help of Madame de Maintenon, another mistress, in breaking the liason. During the king’s time of mistressing, Father Le Chaize twice found himself sick on Easter when it came time for the King’s confession. He was compassionate and kindly and patient. This was the King whom God had chosen to receive the messages of St. Margaret Mary, in which were several requests including the consecration of the King to the Sacred Heart. And the state would be consecrated this way and France would have peace … instead of a reign of terror which seems to have no end and extends throughout places in today’s world. In these messages, the world was given the Sacred Heart Badge and many promises, which will be listed later in another post here. Wearing the Sacred Heart Badge, or, even carrying an image of the Sacred Heart carries with it extremely powerful blessings and protection. Let this be known for now. Whatever consecrations may have been made were done only privately and did not fulfill the required conditions. Fr. de la Chaize’s reasons are still not clear, but he acted deliberatly, perhaps for lack of authorization from the Father General of the Society of Jesus. The General, Fr. Thyrsus Gonzalez de Santalla, was known to be formally hostile to the devotion, for he censured and banished the saint’s director, Father Croiset, for having written an account of the revelations. The tradition of the French Visitation nuns holds it for certain that Louis XIV did nevertheless learn of the desires of the Sacred Heart through other sources. One was England’s dethroned Queen Maria Beatrice, who had taken refuge with the nuns in France. Louis XIV was already practicing the devotion as preached by St. John Eudes, to who he had allocated 2,000 pounds for Frances first chapel to be dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The present day Sacre Coeur Basillica was built by the money collected by the people in a manner called ‘the national vow’. Long after the French Revolution. It is built on Mont Martre … the hill of the martyrs in Paris. Undoubtedly Father Le Chaize would have submitted St. Margaret Mary’s requests to his spiritual director, for approval, with a view to acting on them, but evidently the response was negative and he obeyed his director. Thus, in strict justice the King must be absolved of personal blame for the consequences, which proved to be not only disastrous for France, but for the whole world. We suffer them today. The three objects of the message: the church, the consecration, the flag are by their very nature national, durabable and perpetual; the triumph over the enemies of God and the Church resulting from the accomplishment of the message, is even more national, inasmuch as it involves the whole future of France and her providential Catholic mission, her vocation and her raison d’etre. In the person of the king all his successors and the nation itself are addressed. The entire court was to take part in the consecration. It is now known that these invisible enemies were the occult forces of Freemasonry set into motion by the “merchants of light”. Already they had crossed the channel and were gathering strength in France. The Revolutionary plans were being made. FRANCE: The Sacred Heart (Christ the King) asked for the Head of State to Consecrate, and for the image of the Sacred Heart to be engraved on the standards of the soldiers, their shields, the flag. The only time a head of state has consecrated his country to the Sacred Heart was on March 25, 1874. The Archbishop of Quito, his Grace Jose Ignatio Checa Y Barbera and President Gabriel Garcia Moreno jointly and solemnly consecrated Ecuador to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. FATIMA Our Lady asked that the Pope, in union with all the Bishops in the world, would consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary … on the same day … in their cathedrals if possible. Russia has not been said with the exception of the 1952 Pope Pius XII consecration and then there were no Bishops involved.

“Particulate matter in smoke causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in the country. Urban air pollution in terms of particulate matter is estimated to cause around 22,000 premature deaths among adults and 700 deaths among young children annually. Indoor air pollution causes the deaths of more than 30,000 children per year across the country,” he added. Mr Kiani said global climate change and the deteriorating quality of urban air have a significant impact on human health. He said health effects caused by air pollution can include difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, asthma and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. The effects of poor air quality on human health are far-reaching but principally affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, he wrote. Speaking to Dawn, he said international surveys have continuously shown that environmental pollution is rising across the country. “We want to make Islamabad a model city, so other cities and provinces follow it. Apart from that we have decided to facilitate residents of the federal capital to remain healthy. We will also give them awareness so that they also play a role in keeping the city pollution-free,” he said. In response to a question, Mr Kiani said some companies are being involved to hire physical exercise trainers as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity, who will deputed in parks and walking tracks where they will assist people with exercise and inform them of how to remain healthy and avoid cardiovascular disease. He said that four decades ago there were just a few slums in the capital, which have now increased significantly. “Once the population of the federal capital was 400,000, but now it has reached to 2.2 million. One should understand that pollution increases with the increase in population. So there is need to take steps to reduce environmental pollution,” he said. He said by next year “every deserving resident of the federal capital” will receive health cards so they can avail healthcare facilities. According to the letter, a rapid assessment of particulate matter may be measured in various locations in the high industrial zones of I-9 and I-10 to address the situation. Particulate matter in industries will be measured using Environmental Particulate Air Monitor-5000 (EPAM-5000), which is available with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What about the poor people who suffer so much during pollen season. Why doesnt the Government order CDA to start cutting/destroying the Mulberry trees with immediate effect.

It look many philosophers and educationists to create the system of education that we are a part of today. Vivekananda, Radhakrishna, Gandhi, Dewey, Ambedkar - the names and the efforts were large. The System was not willing to be broken and social change was no easy task. But what kept them going? A vision, a mission and a dream, a need for something better, unwillingness to complacency and reluctance to fit into something easy. They weren't willing to give up till they reached what was close to perfection to them. About 60 years later, we moved on in a system created by our forefathers unwilling to change, not ready to mobilize and thoroughly satisfied. Does that mean that we have succeeded to be a part of something perfect? Or does that mean that somewhere dowm the lane we have lost out on visionaries - men and women willing to question the system and help us move towards something better? So today in this school of future educationists, entrepreneurs and professionals. I put across a challenge to make visionaries of students. People unwilling to settle for anything but the best, futurist not willing to fall in a rut, citizens aware of where they stand and where they need to reach and thinkers who question every choice they make. I wish all of you luck in this new zeal that I put forth.

Do you need a shareholders’ agreement? Are you running an incorporated business with family or non-family members? If so, are you and your co-owners working in a harmonious environment and agreeing on the direction in which the business is currently going? If this is your situation, it’s definitely a good place to be; but be mindful that challenges can arise that will require you to resolve disputes or deal with unfortunate situations — such as if a shareholder dies or becomes disabled. It is these types of challenges which make it imperative to have a shareholders’ agreement in place. And to be an effective agreement, it needs to reflect the key principles and philosophy of all of the shareholders. A shareholders’ agreement is a contract between shareholders of an incorporated business that provides mechanisms to deal with important issues before they become problems. Of course, corporate law sets out specific rules that must be followed when corporations are being used, but a shareholders’ agreement goes beyond corporate law to set rules for corporate governance and how shareholders will deal with each other. It is an invaluable tool you can use to help ensure that your business grows and prospers. How do you become a shareholder? How do you exit ownership? We recommend that you start with a discussion among family members and other key players to determine the basic principles and philosophy of the business around these questions in particular, and then use this information to construct an agreement. Our BDO SuccessCare Program™ team can provide an educational program on developing a principles-based shareholders’ agreement and they can help you develop your specific agreement. For more information, contact your BDO advisor. What specific rules and issues are dealt with in a shareholders’ agreement? An agreement will be unique to each corporate situation and there is a wide range of issues that can be dealt with through various rules. However, in addition to the key business questions just discussed, there are other key issues that all agreements should address. A shareholders’ agreement allows shareholders to deal with governance issues by setting specific rules as agreed upon by the shareholders. In particular, an agreement should include rules for resolving disputes, as well as rules to end deadlocks (such as arbitration, mediation or appointing additional directors). Another key area covered in an agreement will be how to deal with future events that may happen, including death, bankruptcy, divorce or incapacity of a shareholder. An agreement could provide for different options — for example, a mandated succession plan where each shareholder would pass on their interests to the next generation or a buy-sell agreement which would allow one or more shareholders to buy another’s shares at a time when that other shareholder becomes unable to carry on in the business due to poor health. These are only a couple of options, and the key point is to ensure an approach has been set. As we have discussed, the actual process of working through a shareholders’ agreement will help you and your co-owners identify possible business risks and provide an opportunity in advance to discuss how to resolve issues should they arise. It can also give you the chance to set aside resources such as life, disability or critical illness insurance. In addition to setting a specific transition plan while working through the agreement, you could also deal with retirement planning for the current owners. It is beneficial to work through this process at the beginning of the business relationship, or at least when goals are similar and shareholders are in good health and in a position to be objective over who should take over the business in the future. Although it may be possible for shareholders to try to negotiate an arrangement once an unfortunate event has happened, depending on the event, the interests of each shareholder may have diverged creating the potential for disharmony in the business relationship. And in the situation where one shareholder becomes ill, they may be at a disadvantage in any negotiations if they are no longer able to continue in the business. Therefore, it is essential to get an agreement in place before any unfortunate events happen. Liquidation of a shareholder’s interest in the event of disagreement, disability or death (this would include buy-sell agreements for shares). This list is not exhaustive — any issue of mutual concern to the shareholders of a company can and should be covered in the agreement. The manner in which a shareholders’ agreement is set up and the rules included in an agreement can have an impact on the tax situation of the corporation, as well as other corporations under common control. It is important to keep this in mind when setting out rules in the agreement that impact who can control the corporation, who can acquire shares and how to value the company. In terms of issues around share ownership, there will also be important personal and estate related tax issues to consider. It will be critical to ensure that any buy-sell agreements used are structured properly to allow for effective post-mortem planning. As well, you don’t want rules in the agreement to impede the ability to claim a capital gains exemption and the small business deduction, if they would otherwise be available. Your BDO advisor can help ensure that your agreement will be effective from a tax perspective. If you don’t already have a shareholders’ agreement in place, it is very important to make this task a priority with your co-owners. Setting up a principles-based shareholders’ agreement will help to ensure you have an effective agreement that can successfully deal with major decisions, unforeseen disputes and future events that may arise. And doing this at a time when you and your fellow shareholders are healthy and enjoying a good relationship, and can be objective about future decisions, will help to make the decision making process run smoother. Contact your BDO advisor to discuss the issues that need to be addressed in your shareholders’ agreement. A recent case decided by the Supreme Court of Canada brings the issue of restricted farm losses back to our attention. After the Supreme Court decision in the Moldowan case many years ago, many tax practitioners thought that this issue had been laid to rest. However, the recent decision in the Craig case overrules the precedent set in Moldowan and the issue of when farming losses can be deducted against other sources of income is now worth revisiting. The fact that this case deals with horse racing as the farming business which generated large losses that were deducted against professional and employment income creates some interest in the case. And many would have thought that this was the type of situation that the restricted farm loss rules were meant to address. In the years in question, 2000 and 2001, Mr. Craig’s most significant source of income was his professional income from his law practice. He also had income from investments and the exercise of stock options. His total income from all sources (before applying the farm losses) for the years in question was approximately $1,200,000 and $800,000 respectively. Mr. Craig was also in the business of buying, selling, training and maintaining horses for racing – his farming business. He deducted the losses of the horse racing business from his other income in 2000 and 2001 in the amounts of $222,642 and $205,655 respectively. The horse racing business had some modestly profitable years, but over the years, the losses significantly exceed the profits. The total hours Mr. Craig spent at his law practice exceeded that devoted to the farming business. Mr. Craig also devoted a substantial amount of capital and a significant part of his daily work routine to the farming business. In what might be a key fact, Mr. Craig was an active member of the standardbred racing community and served as chairperson of the industry’s appeal board. Mr. Craig was reassessed for the years in question, limiting the deductible losses for each year to $8,750 on the basis that the combination of his law practice and his horse racing business was not his chief source of income, because the horse racing business was a subordinate or sideline business. By way of background, the restricted farm loss rules in the Income Tax Act restrict farm losses when a taxpayer’s chief source of income for a taxation year is neither farming nor a combination of farming and some other source of income. In Moldowan, the precedent was established that if farming is a subsidiary source of income in relation to the taxpayer’s other sources of income, the loss deduction limitation will apply. The implication is that in order for the limitation not to apply, farming must be the chief source of income. However, there is nothing in the relevant income tax rule stating that in order to avoid the loss deduction limitation, farming must be the major source of income in relation to other sources of income. Over the years, there has been significant judicial and other criticism of the Moldowan judgment. Therefore, while it is not common for a Supreme Court judgment to be overturned, in the Craig case it was decided that the precedent in Moldowan could be overridden based on a number of factors, including this widespread criticism. In the Craig case, the court interpreted that using the phrase “a combination of farming and some other source of income” does not contemplate a simple aggregation of two sources of income, but instead contemplates that the taxpayer will devote significant time and resources to the farming business. And, as long as the taxpayer devotes considerable time and resources to the farming business, the fact that another source of income produces greater income than the farming business does not mean that such a combination is not a chief source of income for the taxpayer. The taxpayer’s ordinary way of living, farming history, future intentions and expectations. The court indicated that the approach to evaluating the factors must be flexible, recognizing that not each factor need be significant, and stated that “[t]he question is whether, looking at these factors together, the taxpayer places significant emphasis on each of the farming business and the other earning activity, and if so, the combination will constitute a chief source of income and avoid the loss deduction limitation”. As mentioned in the facts above, Mr. Craig derived his principal income from the practice of law and the total hours spent at his law practice exceeded that devoted to his farming business. However, he devoted both a significant amount of capital and a large part of his daily work routine to the farming business. Mr. Craig was also an active member of the standardbred racing community, serving as chairperson of the industry’s appeal board. This involvement allowed him to work to improve the integrity of standardbred racing so as to improve the potential profitability of his operation. For these reasons, the Supreme Court upheld the lower courts’ decisions that farming, in combination with Mr. Craig’s law practice, was a chief source of income, and that the farm loss deduction limitation did not apply based on the facts. This decision may open up more situations where losses from farming can be deducted from other sources of income, provided that the time and effort put into the farming business are significant, even if the other sources of income produce more income. Note that if you are considering entering into a new farm-related operation, and you believe that the Craig case would allow you to deduct losses against other sources of income, you should keep in mind that the government may change the rules that apply to farm losses. In particular, it is possible that the government believes that the tax policies set out in the Moldowan case are the ones that should apply, and could change the tax legislation for these losses to reflect that. If you undertake farming as a significant activity but have not been able to fully deduct losses from farming, speak with your BDO advisor to see if the decision in this case is relevant to your situation. The information in this publication is current as of September 1, 2012.

William attempted to keep himself from trembling as he approached the Confessional. His stomach churned and heaved with fear, and he licked his lips. He walked into the space, closing the door behind him. He sat patiently, trying to order his thoughts. He had sinned, and he needed to become clean again. He well knew the price of such sin. Charlie still suffered, and so long as he rejected the teachings, he would languish, forever outcast. The door behind the screen slid open. "I am here, my son." The gentle, firm voice of the Father said. "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession. I have had dangling modifiers, comma splices, and confused verb tenses. And," he paused, trembling, truly afraid to reveal this grievous sin. "Courage, my son. We all sin, but through confession we can find grace and mercy." "I had . . . thoughts, Father." "I wanted to . . . " he took a ragged breath, "I wanted to use text shortcuts." Tears began rolling down his face. "Oh, my son, do not despair. It is natural, especially with such great sin in the world, but you can overcome such thoughts. For your penance, you must recite the comma rules five times, conjugate the irregular verbs three times, and write an essay on the evils of texting."

Even a softball Sean Hannity treatment couldn’t help the president’s son. While Trump Jr. has suggested he did nothing wrong, the e-mail exchange is damning. The message from the intermediary, which was also forwarded to the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, explained that Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya would have “very high level and sensitive information” as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” The president’s son responded, “if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.” The agreed-to meeting took place in Trump Tower on June 9, just days before WikiLeaks released thousands of stolen Democratic Party e-mails. Ultimately, he said, the meeting “was literally just a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame,” adding that he would commit to testifying under oath. After plying his viewers with a montage of quotes from Democratic lawmakers speaking out about Trump Jr.’s collusion, Hannity wrapped up his softball interview by saying that he couldn't think of any questions on Russia for the oldest Trump son. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump Jr. took to Twitter, publishing screenshots of his email exchange with publicist Rob Goldstone, who the Trump family knew through the Miss Universe pageant and who has claimed he set up the meeting on behalf of a Russian client who had received “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.” Trump Jr. said in a statement on Tuesday that he was releasing the e-mail exchange in order to be “totally transparent.” As The New York Times noted in the story it published minutes after Trump Jr. tweeted, the president’s son released the screenshots to merely preempt the Times story with his own spin.

Your family’s health history is important to each member of the family, because it can help you know if you may be at risk of developing a disease like cancer, or if a certain medical issue runs in your family like diabetes or high blood pressure. For instance, even without a gene mutation such as BRCA, having a family member or members that have had breast cancer or certain other types of cancer can increase your risk of developing it, and would be worth mentioning to your physician. If you have medical issues that run in your family, your physician may be able to recommend close monitoring or screening to check for those potential problems and help catch any abnormalities early on. While talking about your health and your family members’ health can be a little awkward or uncomfortable for some people, you can always start with yourself and open up to them in order to give other family members the courage to share their stories. And, you never know, you may end up having a good time reminiscing about old memories and past family members and learn about more than just their medical history!

This is the broccoli salad I made for my husband’s potluck this week. It is a roasted broccoli salad with bacon, American cheese, onions, peppers, and radishes for spice. It turned out really well, and was a great addition to a summer potluck to accompany other cold salads and fried chicken. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the broccoli and place in a large shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast until the broccoli is still very crunchy, and the color is very vibrant. Cook the bacon until crisp, and drain on a paper towel. Prepare the other vegetables and add to a large mixing bowl. Combine the mayonnaise and Italian seasoning mix. Let the broccoli and bacon cool before adding them to the rest of the vegetables. Then add the cheese and the mayonnaise and Italian dressing mixture and mix well. It is much easier to get your hands in it and mix this one with your hands, just don't forget to take your rings off! Hi….glad they liked it. It looks delicious. You are right about the bacon. I enjoy roasted broccoli. I LOVE broccoli salad! Your recipe looks great! I rarely get to make it though, my husband hates this vegetable. I’m lucky, it is my hubby’s favorite vegetable! thanks for the comment!

Four Suffolk police officers have been commended for bringing an end to the journey of a dangerous driver on the wrong carriageway of the A14. A manager of a garden centre hit by fraudsters who paid for goods with counterfeit notes and tricked staff into handing over more cash has said the incident made him “feel sick”. Two people have been taken to hospital after a car flipped over in a ‘serious collision’ close to Center Parcs in Elveden.

We are pleased to announce that the next meeting will take place in Naples/IT on February 8-10, 2017. Thanks to our partners Raffaella Calabria and Patrizio Massoli from the Istituto Motori at the National Research Council, we have been invited to a visit at their Applied Physics Laboratory. Check out details on the lab below! We look forward to get inspired by the upcoming meeting to further plan the tasks and strategic developments for 2017. In the Applied Physics Lab of Istituto Motori – National Research Council of Italy, the activities are mainly focused on the characterisation of combustion, fuels and pollutants by means of optical diagnostics. In this general framework, the activities are dedicated to study renewable fuels and to develop ad-hoc optical diagnostics. In Residue2Heat Project, the activities concern both the fundamental search themes of the Lab. Part of the research will concern the study of the combustion behaviour of single droplets composed by crude and conditioned Fast pyrolysis Bio Oils (FPBO), FPBO surrogate and pure compounds forming the surrogate. The experimental database so formed will be used as feedback for the optimisation/tuning of processes as well as to form the data base for the development of combustion models of FPBO. The development and application of ad-hoc laser techniques is the other item foreseen in Residue2Heat. In particular, the aim is to set up a laser diagnostics able to characterise sprays of FPBO with high accuracy.

The African Bird Club bulletin includes the following largely unconfirmed records some of which were first published in Birding World and Dutch Birding. A Black-capped Petrel Pterodroma hasitata, photographed c.30 km off Agadir on 23 March 2013, has been identified, on the basis of a recently disclosed photograph, as the first record for Morocco (per Dutch Birding 39: 341); it may also be the first for mainland Africa. Another first for the country was an immature Steppe Eagle Aquila nipalensis, migrating north with Short-toed Snake Eagles Circaetus gallicus and European Honey Buzzards Pernis apivorus at Jbel Moussa on 18 May; in the Maghreb, the species was previously recorded in Tunisia but not yet in Algeria (per Go-South Bull. 14: 101–105). Records in May–December 2017 include the following. A Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina photographed at Laâyoune on 29 October would be the first for the Western Sahara, if accepted (per www.hbw.com/news/ first-country-reports). More than 1,500 White-headed Ducks Oxyura leucocephala were counted at Merja Fouarat, Kenitra, on 31 December— this is probably the largest wintering flock recorded in the country since the return of the species as a winter visitor and subsequently as a breeding species two decades ago. A female Goosander Mergus merganser photographed at Oued Loukkos, Larache, on 10 December is the sixth for Morocco; the last record dates from February 1988 (per www. magornitho.org). An immature Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor was at Oualidia on 16 October; although this is the 15th record for Morocco, most were in 1975–94, the last being on 3–4 May 2012. There are no records from Algeria and just one in Tunisia, of two birds at Thyna saltpans, Sfax, on 29 January 2010 (per Go-South Bull. 14: 230–234). A Rüppell’s Vulture Gyps rueppelli photographed at Mijk near Dakhla on 26 June was at least the second for the Western Sahara; the first concerned three individuals near Aousserd on 1 August 2011 (per Dutch Birding 39: 268). A White-backed Vulture G. africanus observed with four Rüppell’s Vultures Gyps rueppelli and Griffon Vultures G. fulvus on 5, 6 and 8 July at Jbel Moussa was the second for Morocco; the first was near Tétouan in May 2014 (per www. magornitho.org). On 10 November, four Cinereous Vultures Aegypius monachus, 2,700 Griffon Vultures Gyps fulvus and one Spanish Imperial Eagle Aquila adalberti were seen at Point Cires, Tangier, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco (per Dutch Birding 39: 400–401). An adult male Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus, ringed as a nestling in northern Finland on 14 July 2013, was captured by poachers in the province of Médiouna on 1 November and released the same day after negotiations led by the Moroccan Association of Falconry and Raptor Conservation (AMFCR). A Saker Falcon F. cherrug, illegally captured on 27 November in the Casablanca region, was seized by the authorities on 3 December and handed over to the AMFCR, which took it into care until its release on 15 December. Five days later, the bird was found dead near the village of Megdoul Ouled Dahou having travelled 165 km; the autopsy suggested that it had starved to death (per Go-South Bull. 15: 1–6). In 2017, three pairs of Namaqua Doves Oena capensis bred near Mijk, Western Sahara; six juveniles were seen there on 11 August (per Dutch Birding 39: 337). Two or three Olive-backed Pipits Anthus hodgsoni at Jardin d’Essai, Rabat, from 5 November represented the sixth record for Morocco (per Dutch Birding 39: 414). Yellow-browed Warblers Phylloscopus inornatus were recorded at Melilla on 15 October, at Missour, Moyenne Moulouya, on 22 October, at Ben Ahmed, Settat, on 5 November and near Tagdilt Track, Boumalne n’ Dades, on 1 December; 14 previous records have been accepted by the Moroccan Rare Birds Committee (MRBC). A Pied Crow Corvus albus was still present at M’Hamid, south of Zagora, on 31 December; it was first seen there in November 2015. A Little Bunting Emberiza pusilla was mist-netted and ringed at Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast, on 7 November; there are only two confirmed records for Morocco: one ringed at Souss-Massa National Park in October 2013 and another photographed at Tiznit in February 2016. Additionally, Thévenot et al. (2003. Birds of Morocco) mention three possible records, two of which have since been rejected by the MRBC (per www.magornitho.org). Records from the period December 2016–June 2017 include the following. A Steppe Eagle Aquila nipalensis photographed at Jbel Moussa on 18 May is the first record for Morocco (per Go-South Bull. 14: 101–105), whilst a Lesser Scaup Aythya affinis at Barrage El-Mansour Eddahbi, Ouarzazate, on 18 March is the seventh. A Great Bittern Botaurus stellaris was observed at Larache on 30 December. A Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus was photographed at Salé, Rabat, on 3 March—away from Khnifiss (see below), there are just a few records each year—and an Iceland Gull L. glaucoides at Ceuta on 4 February. The Pied Crow Corvus albus at M’hamid, Zagora, first noted in November 2015, remained until at least 21 March; another was photographed at Oumazza, near Rabat, on 1 May. The fifth Citrine Wagtail Motacilla citreola for Morocco was a male at Larache on 29–30 December (per www.magornitho.org and www. go-south.org). The following were reported from Western Sahara. At least 550 Marbled Teals Marmaronetta angustirostris were counted at ponds south of Guelmim on 9 March, with another 105 at a wetland on the northern outskirts of Laayoune on 10 March (GK, NB, DP & JS). Two male and one female Namaqua Doves Oena capensis were found near Mijk on 11–20 April; the species bred here for the first time in 2016. Up to four Golden Nightjars Caprimulgus eximius were heard calling at Oued Jenna from 5 February to at least April; up to four singing males were found in this area in March–April 2016. In Tarfaya, two adult and two presumed secondwinter Cape Gulls Larus dominicanus vetula were photographed at Khnifiss on 15 February, two adults at the dump south of Akhfennir on 25 February, and a pair and a single adult on the beach south of Akhfennir on 17–18 March; one of the latter was still present on 4 April. On 17 March, up to six adult Great Black-backed Gulls L. marinus were present at Khnifiss lagoon. The first confirmed Baltic Gull L. fuscus fuscus for Western Sahara was an adult at Dakhla on 24 February that had been colour-ringed on Gotland, Sweden (per Dutch Birding 39: 118–124, 200–206, www.magornitho.org and www.go-south.org). A Rüppell’s Vulture Gyps rueppelli photographed at Mijk near Dakhla on 26 June is the second record for the Atlantic Sahara—the first was of three birds at Aousserd on 1 August 2001. At Dakhla Bay, a Tawny Eagle Aquila rapax was seen on 8 January, whilst a male Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus was migrating north on 17 May (per www.go-south.org). A pair of Desert Eagle Owls Bubo ascalaphus with three fledged young were encountered near Oued Jenna on 12 March (GK, NB, DP & JS). The second White-throated Beeeater Merops albicollis for Morocco remained at Dakhla Bay from 28 February until at least 1 May, where it was seen feeding on Vagrant Emperor Anax ephippiger dragonflies; the first was at Tachektent, Oued Ad-Dehab, on 5–6 December 2013 (per Dutch Birding 39: 127, 209 and www.magornitho.org; GK, NB, DP & JS). A Pied Crow first seen at Tarfaya on 9 January had moved to Khnifiss on 23 January; the species’ first record for Morocco was in December 2009 and the first breeding occurred in spring 2010 in Western Sahara, with several additional records since (per www.magornitho.org and Dutch Birding 39: 128). Sahara Scrub Warblers Scotocerca inquieta saharae near Dakhla on 10–11 January were the southernmost for the country (per Go-South Bull. 14: 5–10). A male Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis in breeding plumage at Dakhla on 15–16 April is the second record for the Atlantic Sahara, following one of another male at Café Chtoukane on 9 April 2011. Up to 500 Desert Sparrows Passer simplex, including many juveniles, were present at Oued Jenna and near Aousserd village in April (per www.go-south.org). Up to 50 Sudan Golden Sparrows P. luteus remained at Oued Jenna and near Aousserd village from January into April, with another nine at Adrar Soutouf in early March; after the first at Oued Jenna in April 2009, the species has been quite regularly reported in Western Sahara since 2013 (per Dutch Birding 39: 60, 129, 211 and www.go-south. org; GK, NB, DP & JS). Singing House Buntings Emberiza sahari were found at Dakhla on 20 February and 4 March; the nearest site where the species is known to occur is 550 km to the north, at Tarfaya (per www.go-south.org). A Cinnamon Teal Anas cyanoptera photographed at Oualidia on 8 October 2016 may be the first for Morocco if accepted (per Dutch Birding 38: 452). The family of Namaqua Doves Oena capensis was still present at Mijk, near Dakhla, Western Sahara, on 4–12 August; breeding was confirmed in May (per Dutch Birding 38: 394). A Baird’s Sandpiper Calidris bairdii photographed at Khemis Zemamra on 28 October will be the first for Morocco, if accepted (BM per www.go-south.org); a previous claim, from Merzouga on 17 May 1996, was rejected. A Rüppell’s Vulture Gyps rueppelli in a flock of Griffon Vultures G. fulvus was photographed south of Jbel Moussa on 28 July (RE & FC per MaghrebOrnitho). A Lesser Spotted Eagle Clanga pomarina flying over Tanger-Med port on 1 October was the fifth for Morocco (and the second in 2016). A Pied Crow Corvus albus was photographed at M’hamid on 1 November; it was seen here for the first time in November 2015 (per Dutch Birding 38: 455–462). The following were reported for the period January–May 2016. In southwestern Morocco, flocks of 16 Lesser Flamingos Phoeniconaias minor at Oued Chebeika and six at Akhfennir were observed on 9 January. In Western Sahara, Namaqua Doves Oena capensis were reported from Gleib Jdiane on 15 March (two males) and 16 March (a male and a female) and near Aousserd on 18 March (three); the first breeding record was documented when a juvenile, with at least two males and two females, was photographed at Mejik, on 14 May. The first for the north was found near Rabat on 14 March.

Five of the six juvenile Spanish Imperial Eagles Aquila adalberti fitted with satellite tags in Andalucía in 2015 stayed south of the Atlas in October; on 7 November, a first-year was photographed near Goulimime. A three-year-old male Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus ringed in Sweden was captured at Casablanca on 18 December and subsequently released. A Pied Crow Corvus albus was photographed at Fnideq on 26 March; probably the same individual was seen on 10 October, with one also found at Ouled Driss, M’Hamid, on 1 November; possibly two (or more?)

Earlier in the month, three Rüppell’s Vultures had been seen at Jbel Bouhachem, c.40 south of Tétouan, on 10 May and four at Jbel Moussa along the Strait of Gibraltar on 11 May. The second was a Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis, discovered at Oualidia in early June. A pelagic trip off Agadir on 8 June produced c.30 White-faced Storm-petrels Pelagodroma marina, a Wilson’s Storm-petrel Oceanites oceanicus, c.10 Balearic Shearwaters Puffinus (yelkouan) mauretanicus, two shearwaters identified as Yelkouan Shearwaters P. yelkouan, c.10 Manx Shearwaters P. puffinus, a male Grey Phalarope Phalaropus fulicarius in breeding plumage, an adult Sabine’s Gull Xema sabini in breeding plumage, and c.10 Great Skuas Stercorarius skua.

At Oued Massa, south of Agadir, 34 pairs bred (two fewer than in 2011) and 95 chicks hatched, of which 56 fledged (in 2011, 79 fledged), whereas at Tamri, north of Agadir, the breeding was a complete failure with 43 pairs present (in 2011, there were 51) of which only 11 laid eggs and none completed incubation. An adult was observed at Boujdour, Western Sahara, 680 km south of the Agadir colony, on 27 December. At Sidi Bou Rhaba, the number of White-headed Ducks Oxyura leucocephala rose to 90 individuals in February; the species first bred at this site some five years ago.

An adult Franklin’s Gull L. pipixcan was seen at Oued Souss, Agadir, on 12 December, whilst no fewer than 11adult and five immature Ring-billed Gulls L. delawarensis were claimed from Dakhla on 11 January. In spring 2011, four Cape Gulls L. dominicanus vetula including a breeding pair were present at Khnifiss lagoon in south-west Morocco, which confirms the species’ presence in the area. Many previous claims from Khnifiss lagoon have been shown to be misidentified Great Black-backed Gulls L. marinus and most if not all nesting large black-backed gulls reported at this site since February 2008 in fact concern the latter species. Cape Gull is thus still a rarity with only a few adults to be accepted for Khnifiss lagoon (those documented by photographs were two on 23 April 2009, one on 20 May 2009 and two on 7 July 2010), and just a few photographed though not yet accepted elsewhere in Morocco (a first-winter on 16 April 2009 at Dakhla, Western Sahara, and an adult at Oued Souss, Agadir, on 10 April 2010. Seven Great Black-backed Gulls were also present, with some nesting; the breeding records at Khnifiss lagoon are the first for Africa, c.2,000 km south of the nearest known breeding site in France.

A Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio was between Tamagourte and Outerbat, Central High Atlas, on 10 May. Up to three Pied Crows Corvus albus 152 km north of Dakhla, Western Sahara, were seen again in late December and were still present in March. Records from the period April - October 2010 are as follows. Seawatching from Cap Rhir, north of Agadir, on 14 July, produced eight Macaronesian (Little) Shearwaters Puffinus (assimilis) baroli, a White-faced Storm-petrel Pelagodroma marina and two Madeiran Storm-petrels Oceanodroma castro, with c.200 Balearic Shearwaters Puffinus mauretanicus observed there on 25 October.

The long-staying Western Reef Egret Egretta gularis at Essaouira, first found on 19 April 2009, was still present on 27 February. An adult Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor was foraging among a flock of c.100 Greater Flamingos Phoenicopterus (ruber) roseus north of Oualidia, 68 km south of El Jadida, on 1–5 May. A Tawny Eagle Aquila rapax was seen at Merzouga on 6 February. Several Baillon's Crakes Porzana pusilla were found in flooded fields at Oued Massa in the second week of April; there are only two previous records for Morocco in the past 15 years.

Three Pied Crows Corvus albus c.160 km north-east of Dakhla, first seen on 13 December, were breeding on a pylon on 25 April; these constitute the first for Morocco. It appears that 2–3 birds have been present here for three years, but there are no previous proven breeding records. Records from the period April–November 2009 are as follows. A Western Reef Egret Egretta gularis found at Essaouira on 18 April was still present on 13 November. In 2009, White-headed Ducks Oxyura leucocephala succesfully raised young at Sidi Bou-Rhaba, Kénitra, where at least seven were counted on 4 October; this accidental visitor was a resident until at least the early part of the 20th century, but occasional breeding was considered likely following the recent increase in numbers in Spain. A satellite-tracked Saker Falcon Falco cherrug, a juvenile from Hungary, flew via Spain and Portugal to Morocco; Thévenot et al. (2003. The Birds of Morocco) mention just two certain previous records, one collected in the late 19th century and another captured in May 1963. Two adult Grey-hooded Gulls Larus cirrocephalus were photographed at Oued Souss, Agadir, on 19–21 May. In July,Cricket Warblers Spiloptila clamans continued to be seen between Dakhla and Awserd. A Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva was reported from Goulimime on 11 November. Records from February - May 2009 (with one from November 2008) include the following.

A second-year Spanish Imperial Eagle Aquila adalberti stayed at the Tagdilt track, near Boumalne Dadès, in late March. A juvenile Allen’s Gallinule Porphyrio alleni was captured and taken into care at Melilla, the Spanish enclave in northern Morocco, on 21 November 2008; it died six days later. Between 30 March and 10 April, two male Houbara Bustards Chlamydotis undulata were seen south of Erfoud; this Vulnerable species has been reported slightly more frequently in recent years. In the south-west, at least ten adult Kelp Gulls Larus dominicanus stayed at Khnifiss lagoon from at least early March until early May. On 10 April, one was exchanging positions on a nest with a Yellow-legged Gull L. cachinnans michahellis, and a pair was seen distantly on a nest.

A Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla was reported from the desert at Agdz, Dadès-Draa, on 17 February. At least 1,000 Gull-billed Terns Sterna nilotica were roosting at Oued Souss on 14 April; this is an exceptionally large number. In early April, Tawny Owls Strix aluco were found nesting in the town centres of Marrakech and Taroudannt. Probably hundreds of Dunn’s Larks Eremalauda dunni and even larger numbers of Black-crowned Sparrow Larks Eremopterix nigriceps were present along the Dakhla - Aousserd road, in West Saharan Morocco, in late April - early May. An Isabelline Wheatear Oenanthe isabellina was observed at Tafraoute, Western Anti-Atlas, on 15 or 16 February. Since spring 2006, Eastern Olivaceous Warblers Hippolais pallida of the pale, North African race reiseri have been found frequently in the south-east; until recently, its occurrence in Morocco was poorly documented and required confirmation. In March - April, the taxon was found again at various places in Morocco, with birds singing at Aoufouss (two), Merzouga, Ouarzazate (two) and Touroug (four); it has presumably been overlooked in the past. In West Saharan Morocco, four Cricket Warblers Spiloptila clamans were seen along the Dakhla - Aousserd road on 22 March and in late April; on 8 May, up to nine were found. Also there, two male and five female Sudan Golden Sparrows Passer luteus were observed (and photographed) on 21 April, along with several tens of Desert Sparrows P. simplex. The latter species has become rare in the south-east in recent years, being replaced by House Sparrows P. domesticus at former strongholds like Café Yasmina near Merzouga; on 30 March three fledglings were being fed by a male while the female was sitting on the only nest known in this area this spring.

Records from November 2007 - April 2008 include the following. A Black Kite Milvus migrans with a yellow bill was photographed at Tizi-n-Tichka in the High Atlas on 8 April; there is one only previous claim of a ‘bird with a yellow bill’, near Tinerhir on 5 April 1978. Possibly the southernmost Purple Sandpiper Calidris maritima in the country was photographed near Essaouira on 2 March; there is at least one previous record of two individuals wintering at this site in 1999. The fourth Iceland Gull Larus glaucoides for Morocco was photographed at Essaouira on 2 March. Four adult Kelp Gulls L. dominicanus vetula were reported from Khnifiss lagoon, south-western Morocco, on 19 February, with one still there on 24th.

A calling second- year male Moltoni’s Subalpine Warbler Sylvia cantillans moltonii photographed in a wadi near Taouz, Tafilalt, is probably the first to be documented for Morocco. Along 10 km of the Tizguite Valley, Ifrane, c.50–60 pairs of Atlas Flycatchers Ficedula (hypoleuca) speculigera were counted. An adult male Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio was in the Ourika Valley, Marrakech, on 31 December. The numbers of Desert Sparrows Passer simplex in Tafilalt, south-eastern Morocco, appear to be decreasing with only two pairs found east of Merzouga in March - April; however, the species was still numerous along the Aoussert road in Western Sahara in February. A Little (Kurrichane) Buttonquail Turnix sylvaticus was photographed at Oualidia on 16 September 2007. Records from October 2006 - April 2007 include the following. A Red-breasted Merganser Mergus serrator, a rare winter visitor, was at Oued Souss on 16 January. A Great Bittern Botaurus stellaris was found in the Lower Loukkos marshes, Rharb, on 20 March; the species is a former breeder (at this site), but is now a scarce passage migrant and rare winter visitor. The first Green-backed Heron Butorides striata for Morocco was discovered 70 km south of Tazenakht, in the Anti-Atlas, on 18 April. At Merzouga, a dark-morph Eleonora’s Falcon Falco eleonorae was observed on 30 March; this is an early date. An Aquila 11 km west of Tantan, Draa, on 16 December may have been a Tawny Eagle A. rapax or, perhaps, a Spanish Imperial Eagle A. adalberti. A juvenile Spanish Imperial Eagle was photographed west of Tan Tan in December and again in February; recent satellite tracking indicate birds disperse as far south as Senegal. On 31 December, an adult Dark Chanting Goshawk Melierax metabates was reported at Oulad Teima, where the species has not been seen for many years. In February, Barbary Falcons Falco pelegrinoides were recorded at Agadir (an immature), Tamri (a pair) and near Oukaimeden (a pair).

In Tafifalt, 12 km north-east of Merzouga, a nest was found but all hatchlings were trapped and taken to a Saudi breeding programme in the first days of April. The second Buff-breasted Sandpiper Tryngites subruficollis for Morocco was photographed at Ouarzazate on 24 April; the first record was in 1996. Another was found with an Upland Sandpiper Bartramia longicauda between Sidi Moussa and Oualidia on 28 September. A second-year Baltic Gull Larus f. fuscus ringed at Pori, Finland, on 28 June 2005, was discovered at Anza, Agadir, on 23 February; this is one of the westernmost ringing recoveries of a gull ringed in Finland for Africa. If accepted, an adult Kelp Gull L. dominicanus vetula on the beach at Agadir on 28 August will be the first for Morocco. An adult Common Gull L. canus was at Merja Zerga on 28 May. At least three Plain Swifts Apus unicolor were identified at Larache on 7 May; this is further north than previous records. Three Dunn’s Larks Eremalauda dunni were seen between Dakhla and Awserd (Aoussard), Western Sahara, on 12 March; Black-crowned Sparrow Larks Eremopterix nigriceps were found to be common there, with at least 25 individuals counted.

A first-winter Isabelline Shrike Lanius isabellinus was reported from Oued Massa on 2 November; this would be the first for Morocco if accepted. A Hooded Crow Corvus corone cornix, seen at Oued Smir lagoon just south of Ceuta on the Mediterranean coast on 22 October, may constitute the second for Morocco, following a report pending for 2003. The following were recorded in January to April 2004.

Ergo you really should think about this when you actually install the floor in the room. The best square foot calculator tile for every room.

Ayumi Hamasaki has announced plans to embark on a brand new tour later in the year. In a message released on a new website created specifically for the tour, it begins with the bold statement “The stage is the place where Ayumi Hamasaki lives”. The majority of the dates will be held at halls, however it’s expected that she will do a couple arena dates also, all the specific dates and venues she will be performing at has not been revealed yet. Just the beginning -20- TOUR 2017 will be Ayu’s largest and most ambitious tour to date, 60 dates are currently scheduled in Japan alone. The 20 in the tours title signifies the start of her mission to her 20th anniversary, which will officially begin on April 8th, 2018. Ayu and her team are promising a very multifaceted show to give her fans the full experience. Elaborate stages, costumes, and dance numbers have been the norm at Ayu’s tours for many years now giving them a very theatrical ambiance. Describing the tour as “unprecedented”, she plans to completely change things up compared to her previous tour Arena Tour 2016 A ~M(a)de in Japan~. This is leaving fans curious to see what she comes up with next. In terms of the setlist her most famous chart toppers will be performed, along with songs marking the trajectory of her debut. At Ayu’s last concert, COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017, Ayu performed her single Kanariya for the very first time. Are there any hidden gems from her early discography you’re hoping make the setlist?

Quick Thoughts: From the very first page, Caliban’s Wake had me enthralled. It’s a second novel that doesn’t suffer from the tradition second novel’s fate. It’s has a fully contained story, new characters that actually enhance the story and true emotional impact through a realistic portrayal of broken characters. Fans of Leviathan Wakes should not hesitate to jump into this latest tale of the Expanse, and for those new to the world, what are you waiting for? Leviathan Wakes was a novel last year that I listened to mostly because it was nominated for ALL THE AWARDS, most particularly in the science fiction category of the Audies. Well, that, and because the novel had Vomit Zombies. Honestly, if it wasn’t nominated for an Audie, and wasn’t on my list as a participant in the Armchair Audies event, I’m not sure I would have listened to the novel. While I love science fiction, the description of the novel didn’t really capture me. I’m actually less of a Hard Scifi guy that most fans, and tend to like more explody, almost pulpish scifi, over intricate space operas and wasn’t sure where Leviathan Wakes fell within the genre. Yet, I ended up listening to it, and liked it. Liked it, not loved it. It took me a while to engage with the story, to get a handle on the characters and become invested in the world. Simply put, I found the beginning kinda meh, and the ending pretty kickass. So, when Caliban’s Wake first came out, I was excited for it, yet, there was a delay between when the print version came out, and all my favorite Speculative fiction bloggers were raving about it, and when the audio version came out. In that two month delay, my enthusiasm began to wane. I think I started to realize that rarely does a second novel improve over the first. In fact, far too often a first novel holds a pretty self contained story, and then the second novel serves almost as a set up novel for the trilogies conclusion, leaving us with some sort of cliffhanger, and not offering a satisfying conclusion. So, although I snatched up the audio pretty quickly, it took a while to go from recent purchase to an active place on my listening schedule. Caliban’s War finds the crew of the Rocinante working for The Outer Planet’s Alliance hunting Space Pirates. Yet, when a strange incident on Ganymede leads Jim Holden to believe his boss has broken his trust and released a violent pathogen, the crew must find a way to uncover what happens, and search for a missing girl who may hold the keys to the conflict. Caliban’s War is the rare second book in a trilogy that actually improves over its predecessor in every way. While Leviathan Wakes spent a great deal of time intricately developing the complicated politics of Corey’s near future world, Caliban’s War jumps right into the action and never slows down. Yet, Caliban’s Wake isn’t just about Space Monsters, large scale battles and thrilling rescues, Corey gives us a glimpse of the changed Earth and its culture without dragging down the pace. Corey introduces a new character to the mix, Mar’s Marine Bobbi Draper that helps provide deeper incite into both Mars and Earth. Some of my favorite scenes were when Bobbi encounters the culture of Earth, trying to figure out how much of what she has been told about Earth is true and how much is just Martian propaganda. Filtering these scenes through Bobbie’s perspective gave us an outsider’s perspective, seamlessly integrating this bit of world building into the plot. Along the way Bobbi meets up with a powerful Earth politician, another new POV character Chrisjen Avasarala, whose political machinations only enhanced the story. So often when new characters are added to a series, I find myself longing to get back to those who I have already developed a relationship with, and this was often the case with the third new character, Prax, but with Bobbi and Avasarala, I was totally enthralled. Corey also does a good job showing how the horrific events that Holden experienced in Leviathan Wake changed him, and how it affected his crew and his relationship with Naomi. In fact, there is a lot of emotional resonances to be found within the pages of breakneck action. These are not cardboard characters that can shake of death and devastation with a wink and a nod, and each member of the crew, as well as the new characters, bring their own issues to the story, giving it more depth that your typical space opera or military science fiction tale. From the very first page, Caliban’s Wake had me enthralled. It’s a second novel that doesn’t suffer from the tradition second novel’s fate. It’s has a fully contained story, new characters that actually enhance the story and true emotional impact through a realistic portrayal of broken characters. Fans of Leviathan Wakes should not hesitate to jump into this latest tale of the Expanse, and for those new to the world, what are you waiting for? I’m not sure if it was just the fact that Caliban’s War was simply a more engaging tale, or some improvement by the narrator, but any reservations I had about Jefferson Mays performance in Leviathan Wakes was eliminated in Caliban’s War. Mays shows a total command over these characters. Mays particularly shines in his performance of new POV character Chrisjen Avasarala. Mays adds the right flavor to her voice, showing her strong character and acerbic wit. It is truly a highlight of the production. Mays pacing was pristine, he managed to make an almost 20 Hour audiobook feel too short. Yet, it wasn’t a perfect performance. There were a few scenes where his delivery didn’t match certain descriptive tags written into the story. For example, there were a few scenes a character is described as having “yelled” something, and it surprised me because Mays didn’t add anything, either in volume or urgency to those scenes. Mays uses a quiet confidence in his reading that usually worked, but at some moments his measured delivery muted key scenes. Yet, this minor complaint didn’t affect the overall feel of the book. Caliban’s War took a series I was interested in, and excited me enough to make the concluding novel Abaddon’s Gate one of my most anticipated science fiction novels of 2013.

George Will repeated a debunked myth claiming President Reagan added one million jobs in a single month, ignoring that the so-called one million jobs were buoyed by nearly 675,000 striking telecommunication workers returning to their jobs. So, sadly for the Reagan zealots, President Reagan, his economy, his tax cuts, his supply-side economics, etc., etc., never produced one million jobs in one month, or anything close to it. It was a simple matter of striking communications workers dinging the payroll numbers one month and, upon their return, goosing them the next. Nothing more, nothing less. Could not be more straightforward. In fact, according to The Wall Street Journal's Market Watch blog, the average monthly job growth during the Reagan administration was 168,000.

Xenonormal means 'the unfamilar but natural'. When we incorporate this into our little paranormal world, it means that a person thinks that something is paranormal, when there is actually a natural explanation. To them it is 'paranormal' because it is beyond what they classify as normal as it is not familar to them. Someone else could immediently come in an explain it because it is 'normal' to them and has a natural explanation. This is the basis behind 'xenonormal'. There are many reasons why people would incorrectly believe that something is paranormal even though it has a natural explanation. I personally believe this would be more prevailent now than it was a few years ago thanks to social media. There are thousands of facebook pages and youtube channels putting out exaggerated content. There are reality television shows telling us that every bump in the dark is potentially demonic. We are shown in movies that if we play with Ouija boards we are opening the portal to hell. While we are influenced (well not all of us) by this sensational content, there are a bunch of other reasons why someone may think something is paranormal when it isn't. It in a lot of cases, it is really just a case of not knowing. A perfect example would be to look right up in the sky at night. At the time of writing this article, the planet MARS is the closest that it has been to Earth in the last 15 years. It means that over the last few nights, it has appeared as a bright orange star in the sky. It is very commonly reported as a UFO. To the person reporting this, it is a UFO as it is unidentified to them, however a lot of other people automatically know that it is a planet. I know in my case, I know it is a planet, but I couldn't tell you which one. There was a wave of people reporting strange UFO activity in the sky at the time of the SpaceX launches. It is certainly a sight that would be confusing to a lot of people. In that particular area where there are space launches on a regular basis, people would be used to seeing this kind of phenomena and would know what it was straight away. If you did it here in my neighbourhood in Australia, I guarentee you the lines would light up because to us it is not normal and not something we are used to seeing. I too would be looking for my underground bunker because it is something I would have never seen before. These are the perfect examples of something being xenonormal and the perfect phrase to describe it. This is why it can be imperative to 'get a second opinion' on things and where peer review is really essential when it comes to trying to determine what is 'paranormal'. We all have a different perception. A lot of it stems from our belief system. We all have certain beliefs. Some are influenced by religion, and some are just influenced by how you were raised and the experiences that you have had. It could be a part of your culture? In some cultures, ghosts are not spoken about because they are brought up to be scared of them. For example in some cultures you aren't supposed to be near water at night as they believe evil spirits can pull you into the water. They believe this because this is part of their cultural beliefs. They don't know any different because that is what they have been told all of their life and forms their belief system. One of the probems with the paranormal field is that a lot of the time when we hear information, we just accept it. Quite often a lot of investigators (myself included) will talk about things within the field as if they are well known and we are certain about them because we all just know about them. Look at the Singapore Theory. It is one of the things I base my techniques as a paranormal investigator on. For the longest time I would talk about and use the Singapore Theory in the way that everyone else did because that is just what we do. Everyone else does it so they must know what they are doing right? Until one day I dared to ask the question, where did this theory actually come from? What in the world has it got to do with Singapore? No one could answer my question. We all knew about this theory, but never questioned it. In fact there is no documented information that I have been able to come across where this term even come from. So why aren't more people questioning it? We are just accepting it. So when interpreting 'paranormal' don't just take someone's opinion as the final say. Look for your own answers as your perception and the person's next to you and then the person next to them will all be different. Perception is not what actually happened, it is what someone thinks happened. We all have different levels of education. I am not exactly into techinical things. While I research a lot of alternative explanations for paranormal phenomena, I wouldn't say I have an interest in Science. In fact Science kind of scares me with all of the big words and things that I don't understand (which as a paranormal I really probably shouldn't say but I am being honest). Your level of education may be higher or you may have an area that you specialise in. This can be a big contributer to something being 'xenonormal'. I may be sitting at home and my tv might turn on by itself on rare occasions. It's a ghost I think to myself (not really but let's just say so for the sake of the story). My friend comes over and he is a electrician. Straight away he is able to tell me that there is some bad wiring causing this and can pinpoint the exact problem. To me I don't know anything about this field but he can diagnose it a mile away. There is never going to be a way around this. We are people think different, react differently and believe different things. It's the human method. This is the why the word 'xenonormal' is such a vital one as a paranormal investigator to know. Realistically and we all know this, in most cases it probably isn't paranormal. Just because it isn't something that is normal to me, doesn't mean someone else can't explain it. This is where we have to listen to each other and learn from each other. While there are no experts in this field, there are people that have experience. They have seen and done a hell of a lot more than I have. I am forever learning from these people and they tell me they are still learning and they are often still stumped or are presented with something they haven't seen before. This is why we need to all work together. We are the ones that define that word 'normal' and what falls under it. Collectively it is our knowledge and experience that can be used to help one another. The information is important because it can also be empowering. People fear the unknown which is why a lot of people fear the paranormal. If we empower them with knowledge of what the 'natural' causes are, maybe it can help them sleep a bit better at night in the house they once thought was haunted but in reality had bad wiring. As investigators we are used to seeing all of this and a lot of the stories are the same. We have to remember we are in this field and deal with it every day. They don't and it is very much unknown to them. In these cases we need to be a little compassionate and sometimes patient. There are always going to people that will not listen and don't want to hear another explanation and that is fine, but there are equally a lot of people out there who will happily take this information on board. Remember it isn't easy for someone to have their beliefs challenged. If they are set on something being paranormal they possibly have some sort of emotional attachment to the situation. In the same way if something happens to something they can't explain, it can challenge their belief system if they are the type that can usually explain everything. We humans don't like to question ourselves and we don't like our beliefs challenged. It can be taken as a personal attack when in reality, someone is really just trying to help. We are 'looking' for the paranormal. In our quest, we have to make sure our eagerness or passion for wanting to see the paranormal doesn't influence our perception of things. Most of all, don't take what hollywood or reality television says as anything more than entertainment. Question EVERYTHING!

Villavicencio-Aguilar, Fausto M. , Callejas-Negrete, Olga A. , Mouriño-Pérez, Rosa R. . AMI-1 a microtubule +TIP Associated to nuclear displacement in Neurospora crassa . Microtubule organization depends on several associated proteins (MAPs), these proteins are related to the plus or minus end of cytoplasmic or mitotic microtubules (MTs). In filamentous fungi, the behavior of astral MTs and the movement of the mitotic spindle seem to be regulated by a plus end protein ApsA (anucleate primary sterigmata), first described in Aspergillus nidulans. We found the homolog of ApsA in Neurospora crassa and we named it AMI-1. The N. crassa ami-1 gen has a high identity with ApsA and AMI1 of Podospora anserina. In this study we analyzed the effect of the lack of AMI-1 in a deletion mutant and observed the nuclear dynamics and the kinetic features of the null mutant during vegetative growth, asexual and sexual reproduction in comparison with a wild type strain (WT). We are showing preliminary data about the cellular features of the Δami-1 deletion mutant compared with the WT. The Δami-1 mutant showed a decrease of the longation rate of 34%. Although hyphal growth is polarized, hyphae in the mutant grow in a meandering fashion. The mutant displays a lower number of branches and is hyperseptated. The cell wall distribution in the Δami-1 mutant is abnormal; there is a higher concentration close to the hyphal tips. So far, we can conclude that the ami-1 gene of N. crassa is not essential but affects cell growth probably due the effect of the alterations in nuclear distribution.

In November, the residents of the State of Washington will vote directly on proposition I-1631 which would establish a pollution fee. Proponents of the initiative have stated the difference between a “pollution fee” and a “carbon tax” is that the fee must go directly towards funding solutions. Other US states have passed cap and trade systems but this would be the first carbon tax (or fee). In 2016, initiative 732, a previous carbon tax, failed to pass. The hope is that this stronger measure, 1-1631, has better chance of passing, because it directs proceeds to tangible solutions. As where 732 used the proceeds to simply lower the state’s sale tax, and was thus revenue neutral. Implementing a tax is always a difficult political fight, but outlining investments in renewable energy, clean air, and clean water could get us across the finish line. The concept of carbon tax and dividend is seen as a more bipartisan measure and has been steadily gaining popularity, in particular because of the Citizens Climate Lobby. However, in the progressive state of Washington, the grassroots are demanding stronger action and are putting in the organizational efforts to get it. This I-1632 coalition is larger and more unified compared to 732. It is aiming to unite and excite the left. With the Trump administration attacking environmental action, individuals and groups are extremely motivated. Washington’s 2035 goal is to lower emissions by 25 million tons annually. 70% of the proceeds will go towards funding clean energy infrastructure, including but not limited to solar, wind, public transportation, and energy efficiency. Interestingly, it even would allow funds to improve rural broadband, with the expectation that it would decrease miles driven. 25% of the proceeds will go to clean water and healthy forest projects. The remaining 5% will go help communities prepare for the consequences of climate change. The initiative sets up a 15-person committee to oversee expenditures. According to ballotpedia.org, the initiative will raise almost $2.3 billion dollars over the first five years. The opposition has out-raised proponents of the bill by 3 to 1. The opposition has raised a total of $16 million, $13 million of which came from fossil fuel companies Phillips 66, Andeavor, and BP. In the age of social media and with online independent media, we can hope this financial lead can be eroded by truth and hard work of volunteers. To learn more about initiative or volunteer you can visit www.yeson1631.org. The website has clear instructions on how to phonebank for this initiative. If you are interested in other state initiatives, we covered Arizona’s proposition 127 and will be soon covering Nevada Question 6. Some final food for thought. 26 states and Washington D.C. allow voters to decide on ballot initiatives, but this election cycle only 3 states have initiatives related to climate change. Do you think we can do better?

I really liked snapshot testing as implemented in Jest. Once you have a complex object, compare it with its previous value using expect(value).toMatchSnapshot(). If there is no previous snapshot, it will be saved under the test name. If there is a snapshot file already, the assertion compares the given value with the saved one and throws a well formatted exception if the two values differ. Other frameworks have implemented the snapshot matching feature, for example Ava v0.18.0. Yet I always found that the snapshot testing is too closely tied to the Jest framework itself. This issue #2497 discusses the work that went into adding snapshots to Ava (see commit ee65b6d) and how the snapshot testing could be better separated from Jest framework. I wanted to design a snapshot assertion that is separate from any particular testing framework. I love Mocha and would love to be able to bring snapshot assertions to my unit, API and DOM tests. I would also like to be able to use the same library with other test runners, like Jest, Ava and QUnit. A stretch goal is to make this snapshot testing work inside end to end tests inside Cypress tool. I wanted the simplest API possible. A single function that takes just a value. No test names, no arguments, nothing but a value. Everything else should be figured out automatically. This is what I wanted (and it got ultimately done in snap-shot). Notice the snap-shot is a 3rd party module, independent of Mocha / Jasmine or any other BDD testing framework. Let us run this test using Mocha. There is a new file in our folder. Notice how snap-shot has discovered the right test name "adds two numbers" and saved the sum. If we have more snapshots in the same test, they will be saved in the same file with different index. If the value changes, the snapshot difference will be clearly shown using variable-diff. Beautiful. snap-shot supports multiple values per test (as shown above), dynamic test names and asynchronous tests. It even works with transpiled code, React + JSX and Vue.js libraries. The snapshot testing was plugged into our Node server API tests and literally collapsed the test boilerplate code into nothing. Combined with Ramda pipeline that cleans the returned data and makes it invariant from dynamic values, it became a simple and zero maintenance way to use real world data in our unit tests. The rest of this blog post is dedicated to the way snap-shot is implemented. I will finish with recipes for cleaning up data and making it suitable for snapshot testing. // hmm, how do we get to the "works" string? From the stack we will get spec filename and line number, for example spec.js, line 5. We will use this information to find the actual test that called snapshot. Given filename and line number, let us find the it(<name>, callback) where the callback function covers the given line number. In order to do this, we will parse the source of the file into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Then we will visit each node in tree to find a call expression node where the name of the function called is "it" and the callback function argument (position 2) is the caller callback function we just found. // specName will be "works" Note the "options.locations" - we need to keep track of source line numbers for each node in the AST. exports['7464af... 1'] = "test A works" exports['7464af... 2'] = "test B works" exports['7464af... 3'] = "test C works" Even better is to give snap-shot something to work with. Instead of arrow function, give it a named function as a callback. snap-shot will use the name to save the snapshot, instead of SHA hash. exports['testSomething 1'] = "test A works" exports['testSomething 2'] = "test B works" exports['testSomething 3'] = "test C works" I believe this is enough for the purpose of bookkeeping. The above approach only breaks for test frameworks that randomize the test order (like rocha or Jest when running the latest modified tests first). I hate non-implicit calls like data => snapshot(data) and prefer point-free code. Luckily we have an easy solution - pass the entire promise chain to snapshot and let is grab the resolved value. We use the last solution in our asynchronous tests. Even carefully stored data snapshots become obsolete with time and will need to be updated. The simplest way to update all stored values is to run snap-shot with an environment variable UPDATE=1. Combined with Mocha grep feature, it is also very simple to update just a particular test. In the future I plan to add snapshot pruning and other nice to have features. In this section I would like to give examples of snapshot testing an API using snap-shot. A lot of examples rely on massaging the data using Ramda library. I recommend watching this video playlist to learn about Ramda functions that are super useful for this type of data processing. The above code is simple enough to write without Ramda. As I refactored the unit tests to use the snapshot, I have hit the stride. First, I would take a test that checked many properties at once. It could be individual checks (better error messages) or object equality assertion (shorter). The above tests are very verbose. Yet, they make is simple to see what the expected parsed value is. When we switch this code to snap-shot we want the same experience - we want to see what the saved value is before committing it to the repository. This is simple to do and the best way is to run the desired spec by itself with environment variable SHOW=1 set. Everything looks good, we do not need to revert the snapshot file and the test looks much cleaner. Similarly we can transform the second test into a snapshot test, see the saved result and commit the changes. snap-shot does NOT save "undefined" value as a snapshot because it does not make a good expected value. What if a server sometimes returns "undefined" and that is ok? Luckily we can access nested path, or provide a default value if any values along the path are "undefined" using Ramda.pathOr function. If the server returns nothing, the snapshot will be exports['names'] = 'N/A'. If the server returns a valid names list, the snapshot will be exports['names'] = [...] value. The list of people might change, so we do not want to save the list directly. Instead we want to save a transformed data that will be invariant to the actual numbers and names. The snapshot will allow us to test if the server returns a valid list of people, without knowing what the actual values should be. Each person in the list should have a name - which should be a non-empty string. Each person should have an age - a positive number. If the server returns a list with a person record that does not pass these predicates, than something is wrong. Let us transform the list into "invariant" snapshot (we assume the returned list will always have same number of items). The above code is a little hard to read, because each processing step happens as a promise callback. Luckily, we can assemble the single function from each step separately and use it as a single .then() callback. Since each step happens from top to bottom, I prefer to use Ramda.pipe function. Short and clear, I hope. I even recommend unit testing the above toInvariant function to make sure it behaves as expected. You can use comment-value to understand the behavior of each composed function along the pipeline. The production code should be simple and elegant, but it is hard to achieve. The testing code on the other hand MUST be as simple as possible. Setup data, call an action, validate the result. That should be it, otherwise the tests become a drag and impossible to maintain. When tests are simple, the snap-shot should work no matter what testing framework is used.

Buster Keaton in “The Cameraman.” MGM 1928. Cinematography by Reggie Lanning and Elgin Lessley. Director: Edward Sedgwick. At the ASC Awards on Saturday, I thought someone was joking when he mentioned that the Oscar for Best Cinematography would be presented during a commercial break. Surely there’s a good way for the entire show to go on. This is yet another example of why The ASC is an extremely important institution that we must embrace and support for cinematography. Would be nice to be able to take every print out of circulation – Alfonso Cuaron will not be happy about that that. A bad, or better, a sad decision. One more reason to motivate all concerned that Camerimage must continue…. SDC from Dominican Rep. agrees with you Jon. Nominiees should not attend in protest and maybe next year they reconsider.

Today's great recipe idea for Meatless Monday and other nutritious vegetarian suppers. The filling is slightly sweet, slightly hot, a big mess of zucchini, mushrooms, tomato and beans – a great base to easily adapt with what's on hand or just sounds good. With a vegan cheese, the tacos are not just vegan but "Vegan Done Real". With more vegetables and/or protein instead of beans, the filling meets the requirements of both paleo and Whole30 diets. For Weight Watchers? The filling is just three PointsPlus for a whole cup! You're gonna love this one, I promise! BACK IN 2007 Did I mention I love-love-love Rick Bayless' Mexican Everyday? I do! This recipe is one more reason. It makes an excellent quick supper of tacos, infinitely variable, completely delicious. And then? The leftovers are just excellent for a simple lunch! Next time, I will go easy on the canned chipotle pepper and its adobo sauce. This turned out hotter than pleasant – not inedible-hot, not eye-watering hot, not mouth-burning hot, just hotter than pleasant. I added a can of hominy in an attempt to quell the heat, turns out, it was a great addition! UPDATE So seven years passed after making these tacos the first time – and then I made them three times in as many weeks! Each panful has been slightly different but starts with the onion-mushroom-tomato-chipotle mixture, then gets vegetable and protein additions we have on hand. It's a real winner for Meatless Monday and other nights when "quick" and "nutritious" guides the dinner choice. ZUCCHINI-MUSHROOM FILLING In a skillet, heat the oil til shimmery. Add the onion and cumin, sauté til onions soften and begin to brown. Add the mushrooms as they're prepped, stirring often until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to turn color and shrink down. Meanwhile, in a blender or small food processor, purée the tomatoes, chipotle and adobo sauce in a blender. Add to the skillet and let cook down a bit, until the consistency of tomato sauce. Stir in the zucchini and any other vegetables, let simmer until zucchini becomes soft but now mushy. As it cooks, season to taste, do taste and see if you want to add more chipotle in adobo sauce. Be sure to really let this "cook" and not just warm up. TACOS Warm tortillas in a skillet, fold in about half-cup of Zucchini-Mushroom Filling plus cheese and fresh cilantro. Dig in! LEFTOVER REPORT I love this for supper but really love it left over for lunch. A 50-calorie corn tortilla, a scant half cup of filling warmed in the mike, plus a tiny spoonful of something 'cool' like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese plus a slice of roasted red pepper and/or chopped lettuce, some cilantro and salsa. Call it lunch in five minutes flat, for all of 100 calories. Take THAT to the weekly weigh-in, won't you? CHIPOTLE IN ADOBO SAUCE Look for this in small cans, you'll use just a bit, the rest can be stored in glass jar for months where it's ready to be used, any time. I used to leave the chipotles whole, then spoon out the adobo sauce that keeps it moist a teaspoon or so at a time. Now when I open a new can, I run the whole canful through a mini food processor, that means no mashing/fussing around later. For this recipe, I've used a teaspoon of this mix, also two teaspoons, how much you use will depend on your taste for heat, this stuff is spicy! I suppose it's not "necessary" to blend the tomatoes and the chipotle but it does break down the tomatoes into something more sauce-like, it also distributes the heat throughout the sauce, there's no risk of an unexpected single "very hot bite". If you don't have any chipotle in adobo sauce, sriracha or another hot sauce would work fine but I'd add a splash of Liquid Smoke or a teaspoon or so of smoked paprika too. SOMETHING STARCHY I adore the nuttiness of hominy but it's harder to find, not as typical to keep on hand. Black beans are a great substitute, so are other beans such as pinto or even red kidney. QUESO FRESCO I in love-love-love with Mexican queso fresco, much like the uuni justo (oven cheese) I ate all the time when living in Finland. Small world, our planet! I also choose another Mexican cheese called cotija, it's got an addictive sort of sourness.

WEIGHT WATCHERS POINTS Old Points 1.5 & PointsPlus 3 CALORIE COUNTERS 100-calorie serving, a scant cup. Adapted from Rick Bayless' Mexican Everyday by restaurateur, TV chef and cookbook author Rick Bayless. Mmmm...that looks so good! I need to find a copy of this book, we love Mexican-inspired so much, and this looks great. Also have never tried queso fresco...maybe I'll get it in TJs? Thanks for the inspiration, Alanna. Trader Joe's, perhaps, but you know my favorite place, Global Foods in Kirkwood, which has recently started expanding its "Mexico" selections ... one aisle over from "India" so not so far for you, once you're there! Sounds very good. I'll have to look for those tortillas. They sound perfect for me. I sometimes use the ground chipotle chile pepper from Penzeys instead of the canned chipotles, which cuts down the hotness a little, but still gives that lovely smokey chipotle taste. agree, alanna. that's a great book. thanks for posting this rcipe. This looks really scrumptious Alanna. i love the combination of zucchini and mushroom. Ho, I think that Hominy is a brilliant idea in a taco! I wish I could find those tortillas, those sound lovely at 50 cal. Kalyn ~ The tortillas are definitely worth seeking out. I'll watch for the chipotle pepper too, I'm lucky to have a Penzeys store nearby. Bee ~ This cookbook reveals food SO different from the standard fare at "Mexican" restaurants and especially "Tex Mex" places. This is stuff we can make ALL the time. Meeta ~ Ah yes, zucchini and mushrooms work great together. And the good news of course is that lots of odd vegetables are perfect, here. This is home cooking, after all, so it's kitchen versatile! Tanna ~ I've been tucking hominy into lots of things since first trying them here. Yum!! yum! I'll have to try this. Love Hominy. Love Rick Bayless. Love chipotles. Love TACOS!! thanks for the recipe. I'm excited to be finding other st. louis food bloggers. This looks really good. It's funny how great Mexican food is actually pretty light and super delicious. Maybe that's why I cook this kind of stuff so often at home. It's a far cry from the generic American-Mexican food I usually get in restaurants.

Homestead applies to properties occupied as primary residences by their owners or relatives. The program may qualify the property for a reduced classification rate, reduced taxable market value, property tax refund, and special program eligibility. If you have questions about commercial or residential assessing, see the assessor lists on our Find your property assessor page. The homestead market value exclusion applies to all homesteads (on farms, it applies to the house, garage, and one acre of land immediately surrounding the house). All homesteads valued at less than $413,800 can have their taxable value reduced by the exclusion. For information related to calculating the exclusion, contact your city's homestead office. You must own the property, or be a relative or in-law of the owner. Residential property: A qualifying relative includes the child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or owner's spouse, the owner's uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece. Agricultural property: A qualifying relative includes the child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or owner's spouse. You or your relative must occupy the property as the primary place of residence. You can receive one homestead per married couple. Applications must include information for both spouses, even if just one name appears on the deed. One spouse must have a social security number. Disabled Veterans, and people who are blind or permanently disabled may qualify for special homestead programs. You can now apply for homestead online. All married or legally separated couples occupying the property must both electronically sign the application for homestead with their individual Hennepin County Online Service Account email address. If your spouse does not have their own account, please have them create an account before beginning the application process. Note: You will not be able to submit the application without a verified Hennepin County Online Service Account for both spouses. Please be prepared to provide specific information about yourself, your property, additional owners and parcels on your deed. Status of the application will be sent to the email address on record for the submitter of the application, including approval or denial of homestead. Bring your completed application and a copy of your deed (including the legal description) to your city's homestead office. Mail your completed application with a copy of your deed (including the legal description) to your city's homestead office. If you're applying in the current year you will receive the credit the next year. If you have questions about commercial or residential property assessors, see the lists on our Find your property assessor page. Special homestead programs are available for disabled veterans and for people who are blind or permanently disabled. To qualify for the Veteran market value exclusion on homestead property of Disabled Veterans, a Veteran must have been honorably discharged from the United States armed forces, and certified by the US Department of Veterans Affairs as having a service-connected disability of at least 70 percent. People who are certified legally blind may qualify for a reduced class rate of homestead that follows them from one property to another. People who are permanently disabled, and currently receive public assistance, may qualify for a reduced class rate of homestead that follows them from one property to another. And complete the special homestead application (PDF). Submit your completed form to your city's homestead office. After you apply for homestead, the assessor’s office will contact you regarding the program requirements. Notify the county assessor within 30 days if you sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify for homestead. Failure to do so results in recalculation of tax as non-homestead, and could include a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits. Complete the notice of move form (PDF). Submit your completed form in person or by mail to your city's homestead office.

It’s a beautiful day at the dog park, and you’ve decided to play a game of “catch” with your 3-year-old Labrador, Flapjack. Truth be told, it was Flapjack’s idea. When you sat down to talk to the other pet parents, here came Flapjack, drool dripping from his favorite toy, a bright, green plastic disc you found in the parking lot near your home. To keep your friends from getting any more seriously spat upon by Flapjack’s enthusiasm, you heave yourself off the bench and take the saturated disc. You figure you’ll go a few rounds, wear Flapjack down, and go back to chewing the fat with the regulars. You throw the disc for a deliriously happy Flapjack who returns it, panting like mad, three times before the pain hits you. Your chest hurts. Then an invisible elephant comes out of nowhere and sits on it. You go down hard, body twisting, arms flailing. Your fellow park goers see your macabre dance and know things have taken a turn for the ugly. You have just enough time to register that a tide of people are rolling in, feel Flapjack’s concerned, wet, nose on your cheek, and hear a voice say, “Hello, 911? I think we have a woman having a heart attack at the dog park on Sample and 132nd street,” before the lights go out. Hours later, your eyes snap open. Where are you? Where’s Flapjack? “Wherze muh dawg?” you manage to mumble. “He jud be right’chere,” and you pat the air next to you. “But wherzz Flapjack?” you repeat dumbly. “I cn’t talk. Whazzamatta with muh tongue?” You lick the back of your hand to demonstrate how dry and fuzzy your tongue is. “It’s the morphine, Mrs. Smith. Just lay back. You’ll be out of here in no time” she says, and leaves. Morphine dreams have you running through mirrored mazes, looking for Flapjack. At one point, a light bulb with one red filament that spells out “Flapjack,” flickers above your head. Flapjack! Thank goodness a friend has him. He’s your world. Relief floods through you. Driving to Samantha’s, you think, “What if Flapjack got lost in all the mayhem?” The tags you have on him are his rabies tags. Most people don’t know you can track an animal through his rabies tags. You stop at a major pet outlet before getting Flapjack, buy him a handsome tag, and have his pertinent information engraved on the tag right at the store. He’s overjoyed to see you walk through the door. As he’s covering you with kisses, you slip his engraved tag onto his collar. You feel euphoric. You’ve got an extra layer of protection surrounding your precious fur face. If you two get separated again, his name, and your name and phone number is on that tag. Something as simple as a tag that you can get at any major pet store will make sure that from now on, Flapjack will be, to borrow a baseball term, tagged “safe” at home.

During the21st century, with the rapid development of information technology, multimedia and network have been involved in various fields of social life, and all countries throughout the world have fully recognized the importance of information literacy. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the development and utilization of information resources, what we urgently needs is a lot of information, which could improve the information quality of the whole nation. University teachers are the leaders, the principal part as well as the main force of the reform in higher education teaching practice, and it is the quality of university teachers that exerts a direct impact on the vitality of the college. Against the background of education informationization, how should we improve information literacy of university teachers?Based on the perspective of information technology in education, this study clarifies the characteristics of information technology in education and the quality of information which college teachers should have, and involves an in-depth analysis of the main problems in the quality of teachers in universities as well as the use of constructivism learning theory, supported by computer and multimedia network, so as to explore ways to cultivate the quality of teachers in universities in the context of information technology in education. It makes the content of information literacy pursued during the process of the development of information quality of teachers in universities clear to some extent, which also indicates the direction of the efforts of the university teachers. The paper is divided into five parts.In the first chapter, we mainly introduced the background of the top selection of this article, content of the research, significance of the research, literature review and innovation of the paper.In the second chapter, we provided the theoretical interpretation of the features of the concept of information literacy and college teachers Information quality as well as a discussion about the implication of the quality of information, which explained the logical relationship of the information quality, besides the characteristics of the information quality of teachers in universities.In the third chapter, we adopted an analysis to define the essence and characteristics of information technology in education as well as the challenges brought by the information technology applied to College Teachers in education, besides the construction of the essence of the information quality of teachers in universities under the conditions of education informationization, and then raised the content of information quality that university teachers should have in order to provide a theoretical basis for information Literacy Education.In the fourth part, According to the foregoing content of the information quality of the college teachers, we, firstly, designed questionnaire about information quality of teachers in universities under the conditions of education informationization with an example (a case study of Hubei University A), and operated a statistical analysis of the results of the data quoted from the questionnaire so as to understand the current situation of the information quality of teachers in the universities.In the fifth chapter, according to the content of information quality that university teachers should have, combined with the main problems in the quality of teachers in universities recently, with the use of the theory of constructivism and the support of computer and multimedia network, it puts forward the strategy to improve the quality of training of teachers in universities and the specific ways to explore the quality training of teachers in universities combined with education informationization.

Can the Web teach business IT-even enterprise IT-about integration? Traditionally, the logic has been that Web technologies and approaches are great for the Web-but not for internal, distributed systems. But Dr. Jim Webber, global head of architecture for ThoughtWorks, seems dedicated to proving otherwise. Last year, I shared with you a presentation Webber made at Qcon about the Web as middleware and why you don't need a "bloated" ESB. This year, Webber returned to Qcon, this time with a new speaking partner - Ian Robinson, a ThoughtWorks principal consultant who specializes in the design and delivery of service-oriented and distributed systems. The two are writing a book on Web-friendly enterprise integration. During this year's Qcon, Webber and Robinson sat down to a Q&A session about using Web approaches for enterprise integration, which InfoQ posted as a video-with, thank goodness, a transcript - last Friday. Webber, as always, is entertaining, with his quick British wit. Robinson brings his own humor, plus a knack for explaining really complicated topics. However, I'd be derelict of duty if I didn't tell you the discussion leans heavily toward the technical side of the equation, despite Webber and Robinson's best efforts to keep it understandable and simple. Much of the interview focuses on REST, although Webber and Robinson stressed they're not from the "Church of Rest" and did look at how other Web approaches could be used to integrate enterprise systems. "Indeed, my current clients, who are very interested in massively high performance systems, would have potentially gone with traditional enterprise middleware if we haven't done some empirical experimentation and found that a simpler webby approach was actually just as well suited for their needs. Having done those empirical data points it sort of emboldens you a little - you kind of figured out that the web stuff works quite well once in one scenario, and then again in another scenario, and it embolds you to default to that when you are talking about distributed systems integration." If you're interested in the technical discussions, great-enjoy the whole interview. If you'd like to cut to the chase about what REST means for business, when to use REST and why you should avoid REST "platforms" and "boxed REST," then skip ahead to questions seven, nine and sixteen. You'll need to count the arrows in the transcript, but when you click on the question, the video will jump to the relevant part. Or you can just read the transcript, which is faster, although less entertaining than viewing the video. Since we're on the topic of what the Web can teach enterprises about integration, you might also want to check out "Running your SOA like a Web startup," an excellent post by ZDNet blogger and IT consultant Dion Hinchcliffe. He looks at open APIs, which he also calls "public-facing Web services," and suggests organizations apply the success lessons of open APIs to SOA. "It's very telling that Twitter still gets 10 times more usage through its API from partners than through its Web interface and it not unusual. It's also very uncommon for a new Web product to launch without an API; services are the route to success in today's Web where if you have anything of valuable, you need to make sure it has leverage. SOA does not have the same business urgency and lacks critical focus in this regard in most organizations. In short, traditional enterprise SOA has a lot to learn from the open API world." And, if you ask Webber and Robinson, traditional enterprises also have a lot to learn from the WWW. It's not a new discussion-Anne Thomas Manes made similar points in 2007 and you may remember the WOA discussion-but it does seem to be a topic analysts and experts are taking more seriously. Hopefully, we'll hear more about it in in the near future. I would expect the release of Webber and Robinson's book to generate more discussion.

Kazoku, in Japan, the unified, crown-appointed aristocracy of the period 1869–1947, which replaced the feudal lords. The kazoku (“flower family”) class was created in 1869 as part of the Westernizing reforms of the Meiji Restoration. In this class the old feudal lords (daimyo) and court nobles (kuge) were merged into one group and deprived of territorial privileges. In 1884 the kazoku was reorganized into a European-style peerage, with the ranks of prince, marquis, count, viscount, and baron. Membership was opened to those who performed distinguished public service. After 1889 this class composed the upper house of the Japanese legislature. The kazoku was abolished by the constitution of 1947.

A year after I drove it at its international launch, and with a family celebration weekend in prospect, it seemed a good time to re-evaluate Toyota’s huge van-based people carrier, the Proace Verso. I needed at least a seven-seater so that we could all travel together; the Proace Verso in Compact Family guise can easily manage that. In fact, it seats eight in some comfort, so we were well sorted. Although Toyota says it is targeted at both private and commercial users, it’s pretty obvious this is a vehicle that will predominantly see service with providers of VIP executive transport, long-haul taxi operators or airport shuttle services. That said, there will be families who demand lots of passenger space without the occupants feeling shoehorned in and uncomfortable, so step forward the Proace Verso. It’s available in three body sizes – compact, medium or long – and three models: The Shuttle (available in medium or long body sizes) can seat nine, the Family (in compact or medium) eight and the VIP, which has the longest body size, seven. The caveat I need to mention is that with the model I’m reviewing here (Toyota Proace Verso Compact Family), once all the seats are pressed into use, the boot space all but disappears. And with the overall length of the vehicle relatively small (4.6 metres compared to, say, a SEAT Alhambra at 4,854mm) it’s rather difficult to access the third row of seats. The rear doors do slide open, which is a plus, but the second row of seats don’t tip forward easily. You have to fold the seat backs down and then slide the seats forward on their runners; the result being still a small gap to squeeze through. But hey, in every other respect, I really enjoyed my time with this vehicle, taking it on a good mix of short journeys about town (where it proved anything but an inconvenience to navigate or park) and 100-mile plus trips, where, with an armchair-style driver’s seat, this was akin to club-class comfort. The optional Premium Pack fitted to my test car also gave me a massage function as well as a heated seat. It’s also worth mentioning that those rear seats can be easily removed when not needed, to give you back the boot space you’ll demand on shopping excursions. And overall, the cabin environment is light and spacious; qualities enhanced by the two-section multi-function roof fitted as an extra on my test car and possessing separate sunshades across the two sections. There is a wealth of storage points around the cabin, including door boxes, dashboard and sliding door cubbies, and cupholders, with a combined capacity of 58.5 litres. Standard equipment in entry-level models includes power windows, dark-tinted rear windows, dusk-sensing headlights, front fog lights, cornering lights, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors and automatic dual-zone (front/rear) air-conditioning. The tailgate has a heater and rear wiper system. The 7in touchscreen is the hub for the vehicle’s infotainment system, giving clear and simple control of the eight-speaker audio with DAB tuner. Smartphones can be integrated using Bluetooth, with connectivity also available via an Aux-in socket and USB port. Family grade models have additional equipment, including a fully carpeted floor, a luggage cover and net, side window sunshades, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and additional child mirror, 17in alloy wheels, keyless entry with push-button start, satellite navigation, an opening tailgate window and a folding function for the door mirrors. The Toyota Safety Sense package is also provided as standard, equipping the vehicle with active safety and driver assistance technologies designed to help prevent an accident happening, or mitigating the consequences of an impact. The package includes Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection and Adaptive Cruise Control. It also provides a colour head-up display. The biggest advantage of VIP models is that the middle row of seats can be swivelled round, captain-style, to create a more informal atmosphere. Key equipment features include welcome illumination, smart entry and start, xenon headlamps with washers, front passenger seat height and lumbar adjustment, rear parking sensors and power sliding side doors with a hands-free opening function. The front-wheel drive Proace Verso is available with a choice of three powertrains featuring 1.6 and 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines that all feature efficient stop-and-start technology. The 114bhp 1.6-litre engine uses a six-speed manual gearbox. CO2 emissions are from 137g/km with combined cycle fuel economy from 54.3mpg. The 148bhp 2.0-litre unit also makes use of a six-speed manual transmission and generates from 139g/km of CO2; the official fuel economy figure is 53.5mpg. A 174bhp version of the 2.0 engine, as tested here, completes the UK range, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission and producing 151g/km CO2 emissions and returning 49.6mpg in official combined cycle testing. The engines all comply with Euro 6 emissions regulations with the use of AdBlue diesel additive, contained in a 22.4-litre tank, easily accessed via a filler inlet set into the centre pillar. With a 11.3 metre turning circle, light steering and a high seating position, the Verso certainly compares well with other big people carriers, such as the SEAT Alhambra, Volkswagen Caravelle, Ford Galaxy, Citroen Space Tourer and Peugeot Traveller – the last two being built on the same platform. Finished in shiny black paintwork and with those darkened windows, my test car also cut quite a dash – like something from The A-Team, in fact. Having organised it for the occasion, I love it when a plan comes together!

Updating thumbnails to show Xbox One or PS4 templates over title for games category. Contextual fields for items in specific categories. For example if you select ‘money’ as your categories the fields will change to Amount and Method of Payment. Contextual navigation opens on tap not on hold. Taking photos will be a more intuitive experience. Send Email reminders to friends who are not on Facebook. Trial version (will run for a week and you wont lose your collection once you purchase BleBlo). Icons to show categories in panorama home screen. Predictive text when entering titles. (Already does this but will become more functional once we have enough entries from users). The ability to scan all the contents on my computer and add it to your collection. The ability to scan the labels or covers, not just barcodes. Please suggest your features by commenting below. I’m using your windows phone app for the fist time, and I wish to record here my whole gaming collection (almost 590 physical games for more than 20 different systems), and a part of my book one, and I was thrilled to see the barscan option, but I found it’s frustrating to use because it always use the flash option even when there’s already enough light, and 9 times out of 10 the flash ends up right on the barcode, making it impossible to be seen by the camera thanks to the plastic that makes a strong glow reflex, so I would like an option that turns off the flash of the camera. It would also be great to have a customizable voice in the genre entry and maybe a customizable entry (I usually divide them by series for example, or developer instead of publisher), and, in the future, some sort of internet image search option for covers of games that we have to put there manually. I’m gonna use your application not much for lend record (seeing that my friends prefer to buy their own games rather than playing a borrowed copy), but to have a quick way to see if I already have a specific game or not, so a filtered visualization in the ‘yours’ selection with not only title search, but system and genre would be of some help. I hope your app will grow even better and stronger, because it’s the first one I found that actually does what I need and I already like it and it will be really useful for many kind of collectionists, good job! Could you translate the app for other languages ? It could be an online comunity translation using Transifex or any tool like this. Can we also find our collections ond bleblo.com, not only on the app ? Hi there Lucas, thank you for you feedback. I am considering new languages and I will have a look at Transifex and try to have it translated to a few other languages in the next version. I love the idea of seeing your collections on the website, will definitely look at getting that in the next version as well, maybe with some additional features that are more tricky to do with the app. I am still planning on doing a desktop version as well. I would love to see this as a universal app so I can manage my libraries from my windows 8 machine and windows rt tablet. Amazing application by the way and love the work you put into the latest release. Keep up the great work. Thank you Martin, it is always great to hear from fans. Turning BleBlo into a universal app is definitely the next order of priority after I complete porting BleBlo to iOS and Android. Please follow BleBlo on Facebook, Instgram or Twitter to stay up-to-date. Want to stay in the loop about BleBlo updates or specific platform launches?

JE Pistons is a well-established player in the high-end piston game. They offer both shelf-stock and custom pistons in a wide variety of engine and performance applications. This year at SEMA, the company is showing its new lineup of super-high-end, shelf-stock pistons, dubbed the “Ultra”. All of those features combine to make a high-end piston with zero wait time when you order. To that end, JE is also filling out their catalog with a large number of applications that used to be a custom order. “We have 83 new items on the sport compact side alone, basically filling out the roster,” Franzen explains. “Where we’ve had RB26 pistons for years, now we have them for RB25s as well. We’ve had 2JZ pistons for 15 years, now we have the 1JZ as well.” The team also revealed – well, leaked might be more apt – that Gen III Hemi pistons should soon be shelf-stock items, instead of custom-only applications. For a complete listing of JE’s new Ultra piston applications, check out their website. Filling out their shelf-stock piston lineup has been a major focus for JE this year. Applications like the ones pictured here used to be custom-only propositions, but will now be a shelf-stock design.

On Friday, July 28, from 5:30 – 7:00pm, Key West Art & Historical Society welcomes the public to a champagne reception and presentation of “The Virginius Affair,” the only known painting that depicts an unprecedented show of naval force that helped postpone war between the United States and Spain in early 1874. As part of the champagne reception, Florida Keys historian Tom Hambright will offer brief observations about this extraordinary painting by I.H.F. Düksen that evening in the Bumpus Gallery at the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street. Hambright, from the Key West Library’s Florida History Department, will give a brief account of the Virginius Affair in the Bumpus Gallery of the Custom House, calling particular attention to specific elements of the painting. Tickets or reservations are not required to attend. The painting is timely in its arrival as The Society is currently celebrating the connection between the U.S. Navy and the island of Key West with a Custom House Museum exhibit, ‘The Navy in Key West,’ which runs through December 2017. Held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Naval Air Station Key West, the exhibit explores how the island and the navy have relied on each other by highlighting unique images, artifacts, uniforms and military memorabilia along with interactive displays for learning about Key West’s maritime past. “The painting helps visitors examine how strategic Key West was during the time of the incident, and just how hectic the port was, particularly during military engagements,” says Convertito. While the presentation, reception, and entrance to the museum are all free during this special event, donations are appreciated to help support The Society’s exhibits, programs, and events. For more information, contact Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D. at cconvertitofarrar@kwahs.org or 305.295.6616 x112. Your Museums. Your Community. It takes an Island.

Brazilian and Spanish companies acting in the technological innovation area will have the support of a program announced this Thursday, October 1, by the Project and Studies Financier (Finep) of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. Part of a cooperation agreement set in 1996 between Finep and the Center for Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), an entity of the Spanish government, the public notice will be officially launched on October 14, in Madrid. The public notice has as its objective developing projects from companies based in the two countries, in order to boost innovation of its products, focusing on the global market, and it’s open to projects from all sectors of economic activity and any base technology. Projects presented must have, at least, one company from each country. Proposals can be submitted until December 31. From there, in a process which will run through June 2016, there will be the selection of projects which, in the case of Finep, will receive credit within operation policy of the institution, which varies according to the degree of innovation of the presented project. There isn’t a pre-determined line. Over on the Spanish side, projects will be supported through credit and economic subsidy. In the future, Finep’s goal is to re-edit the notice’s format with other countries, such as England and norway, and reformat the program so the financier can support companies, within the framework of these partnerships, not only with credit, but with economic subsidy and support for partnership projects between companies and universities. “They would have access to the wide range of instruments Finep has at its disposal and not just credit”, said Luis Fernandes, president of Finep.

To get the perfect results using a self tanning lotion, there are a few steps that are a must-do. First and foremost, follow the directions closely, primarily because not all lotions are created equal. For example, some may be runnier than others and some may be tinted instead of the normal clear. There have been so many new skin products on the market lately that it can be difficult to tell whether a face cream will be good for your skin. With all of the advances and new miracle ingredients you may wonder whether or not the products will help you get the skin you want.

Is designed to aid the improvement of collaborative inquiry- established educating and studying via type dialogue and small staff paintings. It introduces lecturers to the speculation and perform of collaborative inquiry and offers an easy-to-follow consultant to the instruments that scholars will gather as they learn how to research matters. Nobel Prize-winning writer William Faulkner wrote concerning the conflicts of the human middle. during this booklet, the reader follows protagonist Henry Sutpen throughout the gigantic array of ethical and mental offerings that people come across within the complex glossy international. This epic tale increased Faulkner to literary monstrous prestige. Emerson used to be a proficient student and humanitarian who wrote many essays trying to exhibit what's referred to as the Transcendentalist ideology. He inspiration that "the entire of Nature is a metaphor or picture of the human brain" and sought to unite nature and the soul. This booklet used to be very helpful. i began again to college to paintings in the direction of an affiliates measure which calls for university point math. i used to be negative at math at school and wanted a short refresher for the school placement attempt. This helped me enormously. you'll stick to and extremely informative. In collaborative inquiry, agreement and disagreement represent patterns of convergence and divergence in thought that enable us to tack back and forth into the wind, and give our inquiry its forward movement. Debate versus inquiry It is important to note that the dynamics of an inquiry differs from that of a debate. In a debate, opposing teams present arguments either for or against a proposition. One must play one’s part in arguing the case that one’s team has been assigned, regardless of one’s own opinions and the suggestions that one might otherwise make. One teacher told me that she uses ‘Look and see questions’ in place of ‘Reading comprehension’, ‘Ask an expert questions’ in place of ‘Factual knowledge’, ‘Use your imagination questions’ in place of ‘Literary speculation’ and ‘Thinking questions’ in place of ‘Inquiry’. When working with The Question Quadrant in the classroom, I like to lay it out on the floor with such labels on pieces of card. As an introduction to The Question Quadrant, you might first discuss the various kinds of questions with your students, using a made-up example or two that they can easily relate to for each of the quadrants. Does not have a settled right answer. It is one of those open intellectual questions to which many different answers can be given, albeit that some answers reveal a deeper understanding than others. By having to really think about the concept of art in this way, your students will be trying to come to a more considered view of what makes something art and thereby deepening their understanding of it. Such a discussion could be extended through a small group activity with what I call ‘Floor Sets’.

Hermann Simon for Harvard Business Review: Only about 1.1% of the world population is German. However, 48% of the mid-sized world market leaders come from Germany. These firms, which I call “Hidden Champions,” are part of what makes German economic growth more inclusive: by my calculations, they have created 1.5 million new jobs; have grown by 10% per year on average; and register five times as many patents per employee as large corporations. And they are resilient: my estimate is that in the last 25 years no more than 10% of them disappeared or were taken over, a distinctly lower percentage than for large corporations. Nearly all of them survived the great recession of 2008-2009.

I will nearly always find stuff at Miss Selfridge I love on the hanger and then will leave with the changing room after trying them on but for now these look great. See the new in at Miss Selfridges here. Geo-Mix Print Sleeve Playsuit- both cool and cute, I love the simple difference between the top and bottom and the flash of neon orange. This looks easy to dress down with thick cotton tights and pretty much any colour flat and also dress up with bare legs and boots. 2. Blue and Orange T-shirt Dress - I am loving pattern at the moment and this is a really easy way to get it into my wardrobe, a great statement dress! No need for accessories and all it would only need a simple hairstyle. I think it would be really cool to wear a completely contrasting nail colour like a neon pink or a blood red. 3. Camel Fedora - I think Fedoras came back in a big way and for the moment aren't going any where, makes any outfit effortlessly chic you just need the confidence to actually go out the house wearing one! All pictures from Miss Selfridge.

And I'm still debating on getting a new filter because I've read that you won't need a filter later on when the plants are thriving. What else is recommended to maintain a planted tank? Note: This is all constructive advice. 1) Take the plants out of the pots and separate them as much as possible from the rock wool. It is better to be slow and methodical and save as many of the roots as possible. You can use a Tupperware bin filled with treated water for this. Plant them how you'd like, but in a patch together. 2) Buy many, many, many more aquatic plants, or find more from a friend. The plant load is very low right now and looks like you could head towards a nasty algae outbreak. 3) Ask yourself: "Is the tank aesthetically pleasing right now?" Yes? No? If no, re-scape the tank. I recommend a graded field since you can then focus on an area being a background. People and you look at it as a picture or painting to the underwater world: they will be looking for a foreground, background, and something in between that gives a sense of depth. 4) You've done great on the equipment sofar. Have you ever been to a spring fed river? The plants closest to the outflow of the spring are nearly algae-free. The mechanical action of the water flow helps keep them from colonizing on the plant surface. ed.- Tom's newer post suggests another idea behind algae colonizing plants. However, good flow will help with getting nutrients and CO2 to the plants. Springs often come from anoxic conditions in a high carbonate geology, his article provides a logical reason for the plants' vigor. That elodea is a weed, which might save you in the end. Get some carpeting plants. AquariumPlants.com is a good source.

Has God spoken things to your heart thathaven't come to pass yet? Sometimes when we are believing for things, it’s easy to become discouraged when it doesn’t happen according to our timetable. But when you make the choice to receive your promise by picturing it in your mind's eye and declaring it with the words of your mouth, your faith becomes stronger. You begin to have joy and peace because you know God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. What are you believing for God to do in your life? See it in your mind's eye. See yourself healed. See yourself paying off that last debt. As you allow God's thoughts to become your thoughts and receive His promises by faith, just like it says in today's verse, whatever you ask for in prayer will be yours! "Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to serve You. Thank You for the gift of faith. I ask that you search my heart and mind and remove anything that does not please you. Give me your thoughts of peace and joy today so that I can learn to receive all you have for me today. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

The RSS feed has been around for almost a decade – making it kind of a senior web technology. But, even though these Rich Site Summary automatic feeds had time to mature, eye-catching examples of its adoption are few and far between. Especially on WordPress websites.

What should I do about this? FEDEX!!! Recently I bought my very first woot, a dreaded roomba at that. Sadly though I was out of town for the holidays…Dec 25 -30…and I left knowing that i would more than likely miss a delivery attempt and figure I would come back to a sticker on my door saying we tried come to fedex to pick up your packages…like has happened before with other stuff. However I got back and nothing was a miss, not even a sticker so I tought nothing about it and enjoyed the new years celebration…Well little did I know that apparently fedex just dropped off my WOOT on the 29th…supposedly on my front door, so I asked neightboors and either they too were out of town or had no recollection of seeing a package. Now this is in SouthSide Chicago…sooo I fear the worst. Just wondering if there is a simple way to deal with this or if I have to go through a hassle with FEDEX? I’ll be contacting them first thing tomorrow, and have already filed their online Claim. Just wondering if this is common or if someone has gone through this before that could give me advice. I wish I could help, but I think this has to go through FedEx. I hope they do the right thing for you, galvmar. Thanks for the help and quick reply. I contacted Fedex already and the claim would have to go through Woot…partially atleast. So I’ve emailed woot directly. Apparently Woot can file the claim with FEDEX or give me permission to file the claim myself.

New study finds elders living alone with abuser more likely to endure severe mistreatment. A new study examining elder abuse--released yesterday by researchers at the University of Toronto, Cornell University, and Weill-Cornell Medical College--has found that older adult victims living alone with their abuser were up to four times more likely to endure more severe levels of mistreatment. The study suggests that the addition of non-perpetrators also living in the home played a protective function to buffer severity. "Older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe mistreatment when the abuser has unrestricted and uninhibited access to the victim", said co-author Dr. Karl Pillemer, Hazel E. Reed Professor at Cornell University's Department of Human Development and Professor of Gerontology at the Weill Cornell Medical College. Research on older adults tends to categorize subjects according to different age groups, including the 'youngest old' (ages 60 to 74) and the 'oldest old' (ages 85 and up). One surprising finding was that across each type of elder abuse, it was the 'youngest old' who experienced the most severe forms of mistreatment. "These findings challenge the prevailing belief that the oldest old are more vulnerable to the most severe forms of elder abuse, although we need more research that includes older adults with cognitive impairment and those living in long-term care settings," said co-author Dr. Mark Lachs, Psaty Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Co-Chief of Geriatrics at the Weill Cornell Medical College and Director of Geriatrics at the New York Presbyterian Health System. "Previous studies on elder abuse have found that approximately one in ten older adults experience some form of elder abuse," says lead author Dr. David Burnes, an assistant professor with the University of Toronto's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. "As the population of older adults in North America nearly doubles over the next 25 years, this problem will just get bigger. Older adults who are abused have shorter lifespans, and are more likely to be hospitalized and experience mental health issues." Previous studies have largely explored elder abuse in general yes/no terms, but this study examined different forms of elder abuse along a continuum of severity. "We know that the yes/no characterization of elder abuse does not capture the complex, lived reality of mistreatment or align with the way clinicians examine and intervene on the problem," says the University of Toronto's Dr. David Burnes. Data for the study came from a large-scale, representative sample of 4,156 cognitively intact, community-dwelling older adults across New York State. Among older adults reporting physical abuse since age 60, more than two-thirds (62 per cent) reported being abused in the past year and 11 per cent experienced over ten physically abusive events in the past year. The study was published online in the peer-reviewed journal The Gerontologist, and will later be published in the print edition. University of Toronto.
